Omega Constellation Pie Pan ref. 14900 with Dog-Leg Lugs 1962
This Omega Constellation ref. 14900, produced in approximately 1962, is an iconic example of 1960s design from Omega, offered in honest & original vintage condition.
The 14900 reference is a collection of firsts for Omega: it is the first Constellation model bearing the now-iconic dog-leg lugs, and it is thought to be the first Omega design produced by Gerald Genta. The design is defined by its sharp, angular edges and facets, present in both the pie-pan dial and dog-leg lugs. This particular example is a great, honest vintage piece: while it bears plenty of signs of its age, it remains unpolished and retains all the sharp edges that make this model an icon.
The watch’s appeal is further enhanced by its onyx-inset markers and hands, which add a lovely pop of contrast to the champagne-toned dial. The dial also features the crosshair motif: a staple of 1950s watch design that would disappear from subsequent Constellation references. This dial configuration is all the more attractive to my eye with no date window to disrupt its symmetry.
The watch is powered by the chronometer certified cal. 552 automatic movement, which is running well and keeping time accurately at time of testing.
Dial:
- Original Pie-Pan dial with champagne sunburst finish and crosshair design
- Baton indices indices with onyx inserts and matching hands
- Applied steel “Omega” name & logo and Constellation star logo
- Two-line dial variant (missing the “Officially Certified” text) is correct and consistent with an early 19 million serial number
