A contemporary of the Speedmaster Professional, Seamaster 300, Railmaster and DeVille, the 'Connie' was top dog.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOver the years Omega produced many different Constellatios in a wide variety of case shapes and dials. The changing design language of the 1970s resulted in a limited run of references housed in blocky cushion cases with integrated bracelets, a departure from their more traditional dressy and lithe designs. It also resulted, in 1974, in a special Marine Chronometer version of the Connie with a high-beat 'Megaquartz' movement that ticked at 2.5 MHz, or 2,400,000 Hz. Pretty wild stuff!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particualar Constellation Marine Chronometer Megaquartz is housed in a \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e44mm tall x 32.5mm wide rectangular stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet, a 14K gold bezel and serial number plaque, an acrylic crystal, and a signed crown. The dial is unlike that of any other Omega you're likely to see: Framed by a black acrylic inner bezel, it features a matte black background, an outer white minute track, white 'dash' indices, a date window at 6 o'clock, and a luminous white 'baton' handset. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering this unique watch is Omega's Calibre 1500-series Megaquartz movement, a staggeringly precisely engine accurate to something like one second per thousand years. While the movement's insanely high beat rate means less battery efficiency than a modern quartz watch, its technology is nevertheless wildly impressive for the 1970s...and even for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a special piece that combines horology, electronics, futurism, and cutting-edge industrial design, you could do little better than this compelling Ref. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eST \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e398.0832!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product_details\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41994629185623,"sku":"AS11210","price":3845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS11210_40960323_OMEGA_CONSTELLATIONMARINECHRONOMETERMEGAQUARTZ_398.0832-6.jpg?v=1759764754","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/omega-constellation-marine-chronometer-megaquartz-40960323","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
