The OMEGA Constellation Double Eagle 4-Counters Orange Gold

The Constellation Double Eagle watches have long celebrated OMEGA’s close relationship with the Royal and Ancient Game of golf. The Double Eagle is a robust watch for all seasons, with its screw-in case helping to guarantee water resistance to 100 metres (330 feet, 10 bar) – but it is as fashionable as it is sporty.

This year, the popular line is extended with the introduction of the OMEGA Constellation Double Eagle Co-Axial 4-Counters in striking new 18 Ct orange gold.

Like all of the gold used in OMEGA’s products, orange gold is 18 Ct, meaning that the metal is composed of 75% gold. It has a high copper content (nearly 24%) which contributes to the vivid colour. There is also a trace of platinum which enhances both the hardness of the material and the value of the precious metal. The fact that platinum doesn’t oxidise acts to stabilise the red colour.

This stunning watch is powered by OMEGA’s Co-Axial calibre 3890 and is a COSC-certified chronometer.

The black dial features a distinctive truncated inverted Clou de Paris motif and its four counters, or sub-dials, are appealingly arranged across the watch’s face. The counters which gave the watch its name have hands fashioned from 18 Ct orange gold. From left to right, the sub-dials represent the small seconds, a seven-day recorder and 12-hour and 30-minute counters.

The Constellation Double Eagle 4-Counters has a solid gold bezel with black rubber Arabic numerals. The crown and pushers are crafted from brushed orange gold and the OMEGA logo on the crown is polished. The Double Eagle 4-Counters Orange Gold has an integrated black rubber strap with the OMEGA name in red rubber and a satin-brushed stainless steel foldover clasp.

The attention to detail in the design of the Double Eagle 4-Counters is reflected by its 18 Ct orange gold facetted hour markers, facetted and truncated Dauphine hands, and applied OMEGA symbol and name.

A date window at 6 o’clock and the day window at 12 o’clock completes the dial, which is protected by a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The screw-in transparent sapphire crystal case back reveals OMEGA’s revolutionary Co-Axial movement.

The Constellation Double Eagle 4-Counters in 18 Ct orange gold blends rugged performance and reliability with a distinctive flair – this is a watch which is equally at home on the course or on the town. And the dramatic arrangement of four counters on the dial proclaims: this is an OMEGA!
