With SIHH out of the way the watch world now turns its attention to Basel. With less than a month to go there are a number of previews to be had, one of which is the OMEGA Constellation Sednaâ„¢.
Omega Sednaâ„¢ is the name the Swiss watch brand has given to a new alloy that blends no less than three elements: gold, copper and palladium. Created by Omega and other Swatch Group scientists it is an 18k rose gold so possesses the minimum gold content of 75%. The unique rose colour is a result, in part, of just the right proportion of copper; and its palladium content ensures that the reddish hue of Sednaâ„¢ gold will be particularly long lasting.
 “The OMEGA Constellation Sednaâ„¢ is the first watch to be crafted in 18k Omega Sednaâ„¢ gold.â€
The Swatch Group assembled a team of top metallurgists and scientists to develop this unique alloy whose colour would not only be beautiful but hardwearing and everlasting. This patented innovation by the Swatch Group puts Omega at the forefront of watch making innovation and design and reaffirms their position as one of the leading watch makers in the world.
This beautiful watch has a polished case with a brushed bezel with tone on tone Roman numerals. The dial is reminiscent of the original Omega Constellation Watches and is a luxurious silvery colour. The beautiful rose colour of the Sedna gold is complimented perfectly by the fine quality brown leather strap with gold clasp that sits elegantly on the wrist. Equipped with OMEGA’s innovative Si14 silicone balance spring and the groundbreaking Co-Axial calibre 8501 movement this watch is of the highest quality and precision one would look for. The watch also features a beautiful open case back that shows off the movement inside.
This special rose gold alloy is not only used for the watch case but also for the indexes, hands and the clasp. This is the first watch to be made in the Sedna gold and is a limited edition of 1952; signifying the year that OMEGA produced the very first Constellation watch. It is delivered in special wooden presentation box with a rose coloured lining. The watch also comes with a full four year warranty.
