Constellation '95

The Omega Constellation '95 marks a pivotal update in the Constellation lineage, introducing sleeker lines and refined integrated bracelet design that set it apart from earlier models. Released in the mid-1990s, this generation modernized the iconic "griffes" or claws at 3 and 9 o’clock, giving the watch a more contemporary appeal while preserving its heritage. Collectors value the '95 for bridging classic Constellation DNA with a versatile, dressy profile that wears comfortably at 35.5mm.

Reference numbers in the Constellation '95 series, such as 1502.30 (steel on bracelet) and 168.1503 (two-tone), distinguish case materials and dial options, with price variations driven by metal choice, dial configurations, and bracelet condition. The quartz and automatic versions are both present in this range; automatics house the Omega 1120 caliber, which is highly regarded for its reliability and smooth winding. Expect a premium for original boxes, papers, and unpolished cases, as well as rare dial colors like blue or gold.

When shopping, check for bracelet stretch and ensure the distinctive claws remain crisp and undamaged, as these are central to the model’s identity and replacement parts can be costly. The sapphire crystal and 50m water resistance provide everyday practicality, but most examples have seen light wear as dress watches. The Constellation '95 offers a sophisticated entry into vintage Omega, balancing modern comfort with enduring design cues that continue to attract collectors.
