Omega - Constellation Fluted Bezel C-Case Quartz - 196.0120

This exceptionally distinguished Swiss luxury horological artifact is an authentic flagship piece from the late 1970s, representing Omega’s pinnacle early quartz innovation within the esteemed Constellation lineage. Developed during the historic vanguard of high-frequency electronic precision, this reference combines classical Gérald Genta-inspired C-case geometry with an opulent fluted bezel. It houses the legendary in-house Omega Caliber 1310 (Megaquartz 32KHz), Omega's very first proprietary quartz caliber, featuring an innovative dual push-button case-flank correction system for rapid second synchronization and calendar advancement alongside independent hour-hand jumping.

The case architecture features a solid stainless steel tonneau-contoured C-case chassis defined by sweeping satin-brushed flanks, polished chamfers, and an ornate coin-edge fluted bezel ring. The dial showcases a pristine vertical satin-brushed silver finish appointed with applied black-striped baton hour indices, matching pencil hands, an outer minute track with luminous plots, and a framed dual day-date window at 3 o'clock. Completed on its original, period-correct Omega stainless steel five-link jubilee-style bracelet with signed folding clasp and correct 132 end-links, this 1970s Swiss icon delivers authoritative presence and horological historical significance.
