Omega unveils Constellation Luxury Edition
MANILA, Philippines - Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Omega unveils its Constellation Luxury Edition during the Thirty Twenty Ten fashion show of Philippine fashion icon Inno Sotto today at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (CCP Main Theater) of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
The Omega Constellation Luxury Edition is one of the most elegant wristwatch collections in Omega’s 162-year history created with a strong and vivid visual identity — the dials display a dramatic supernova structure which emanates boldly from the Constellation star at 6 o’clock.
This dazzling visual identity is showcased during the fashion show, where models will walk down the runway wearing Sotto’s latest creations complemented by pieces from the Omega Constellation Luxury Edition. Each watch shimmers with round diamonds whose seemingly random distribution in an intriguing “snow setting” respects the geometry of each jeweled component of the watch.
The watches in the Edition have identical dials. There are, however, three distinct configurations of diamonds on their bracelets and cases. Each of these is offered in a choice of 24 mm and 27 mm case sizes fitted with the quartz caliber 1376 or a 31 mm case equipped with the Omega Co-Axial caliber 8421.
The most spectacular of the timepieces glistens with thousands of diamonds in its snow setting. These jeweled masterpieces, with their 24, 27 and 31 mm cases, dazzle with 7.60, 8.84 and 9.06 carats, respectively. The diamonds pave the entire surface of each part of the watch: the dial, the case, the bezel, the claws, the crown and the bracelet.
The second Luxury Edition model has a bracelet which is partially set in round diamonds. Their lines extend organically from the supernova pattern on the dial and create a sense of motion leading beyond the dial and case to the bracelet. Also available in 24, 27 and 31 mm versions, they have 2.08, 2.83 and 3.59 carats of diamonds, respectively.
The third version is configured with the same snow-set round diamonds on its dial, bezel, claws and crown but is presented on an elegantly understated bracelet in either 18-carat red gold or 18-carat white gold.
The Edition will also feature a world premiere, which is a unique diamond on the bracelet’s distinctive butterfly clasp: a black Omega logo engraved in the stone using a multiple-stage process involving laser-engraving. The result is a perfectly shaped mark engraved forever in diamond.
Sharing a similar pioneering spirit and a flair for the glamorous and exquisite with Omega is Manila’s Prince of Fashion Inno Sotto. His three fruitful decades in the fashion industry are anchored on his innovative and ingenious designs, which have won him the respect and admiration of fashion savants worldwide. Known for his signature long tresses, admirers of Sotto’s talent can expect to see exquisite workmanship and elegant creations.
Omega’s Constellation Luxury Edition and Inno Sotto’s Thirty Twenty Ten collection are a testament to their shared passion for things that will always be timelessly luxurious and superbly functional.
