Authentication

The four integrated claw lugs gripping the bezel are both the signature design element and a known damage point; inspect all four claw tips carefully under loupe.

Known issues in the market
  • Claw tip damage from prying during unauthorized caseback attempts; the claws are thin and the tips break or deform under tool pressure.
  • Bezel insert replacement with non-original; the fluted bezel on this reference has specific geometry and finish.
  • Cal. 8600 replaced with non-METAS movement; METAS certification is a key feature of this reference.
AreaWhat to checkWhat is correctRed flag
caseFour integrated claw lugsFour claws symmetrically grip the bezel from case body; all four claw tips are complete and undamaged; claws are polished on face, brushed on sidesAny claw tip that is bent, chipped, or broken; asymmetric claw positions indicating repair; surface finishing inconsistent with factory pattern
caseIntegrated bracelet attachmentBracelet integrates directly into the case body through the hidden lug system; no gap between bracelet end links and case; smooth continuous line from case to braceletGap between end links and case suggesting non-original bracelet; end links that move excessively; bracelet attached via standard springbar instead of integrated system
movementCal. 8600 Co-Axial Master ChronometerCal. 8600 Co-Axial Master Chronometer; METAS certification; Omega-signed rotor; exhibition caseback shows Constellation MedallionNon-Co-Axial escapement; movement without Omega rotor; caseback without Constellation star medallion
casebackStar medallion on casebackConstellation star medallion in center of caseback; Omega seahorse and text around perimeter; no signs of opening attemptsMissing medallion; pry marks or scratches around caseback edge; caseback that does not seal properly after inspection
dialConstellation dial with Omega logo at 12Applied indices with correct Omega font; Omega logo and "Constellation" text correctly positioned; dial color consistent with reference configurationDe Ville or Seamaster dial substituted in Constellation case; incorrect text positioning; applied markers with different finishing than factory
Common legitimate replacements
  • Claw tips are the most commonly damaged and repaired element; any claw repair should be disclosed and reduces value.
  • Integrated bracelets are specific to the Constellation and non-original replacements are immediately visible at the end links.
  • Caseback star medallion is a replaceable component during service; verify medallion is present and correctly installed.
Expert resources: OmegaForums.net Constellation technical threads. Omega Museum serial database. Claw inspection guide: use a 10x loupe and bright light to check all four claw tips for completeness. Integrated bracelet end-link gap test is a reliable field check.

Last reviewed June 2026

The Constellation 39mm uses the same four-claw case architecture as the 41mm but scaled to a smaller diameter. Cal. 8600 is Co-Axial Master Chronometer. The claw casting geometry and applied star at 6 o'clock are the visual anchors. Same inspection approach as the 41mm -- claws first.

Known reproduction risks

toggle
MEDIUM

Applied claws or asymmetric claw geometry

  • Join line at the claw base -- applied rather than cast
  • Claw finishing inconsistent between the four positions

Same concerns as the 41mm Constellation. The claw architecture is the hardest element to reproduce correctly.

Dial variants by era

toggle
EraDescriptionIdentifiers
2015 to present (cal. 8600)Round 39mm case with four polished claws. Applied star at 6 o'clock. Integrated bracelet. Silver, black, and blue dial colorways. Date window at 3 o'clock. "Constellation" and "Master Chronometer" text on dial.
  • Four polished claws at compass points -- integral to the case casting
  • Applied star at 6 o'clock
  • Integrated bracelet with no visible lug attachment
  • "Constellation" and "Master Chronometer" text
  • Date window at 3 o'clock
  • 39mm case diameter -- 2mm smaller than the 41mm variant

Service part flags

Case claws

Original: Same specification as the 41mm -- cast integral to the case body, polished on specific surfaces. The 39mm claws are proportionally the same as the 41mm but dimensionally smaller.

Replacement tells
  • Visible join line at the claw base
  • Asymmetric claw geometry between positions
  • Different finish on one claw versus the other three
Star at 6 o'clock

Original: Applied metal star. Correct proportions for the 39mm dial scale -- slightly smaller than the 41mm star.

Replacement tells
  • Star absent
  • 41mm-proportioned star on the 39mm dial -- appears oversized
  • Star with different finish than the applied indices

Case back markings

toggle
2015 to present
  • Caliber 8600 designation
  • Constellation observatory motif
  • "CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER" text
  • "100 M / 330 FT" water resistance
  • Case reference and serial number
  • "OMEGA" and "SWISS MADE"

Movement tells

toggle
  • Cal. 8600 is automatic Master Chronometer with 55-hour power reserve and bidirectional winding. Same co-axial escapement family as the 41mm Constellation.
  • The integrated bracelet architecture creates the same service access constraints as the 41mm -- watchmaker knowledge of Constellation case design is required.
