OK, let’s back up to 2015 when omega constellation replica launched its now much-beloved Divers Sixty-Five. One of the hardest design challenges in watchmaking is the creation of a handsome, functional and original-looking dive watch. But that’s precisely what omega constellation replica achieved when it launched the 40mm rotating-bezel-equipped timepiece with amusing funky op-art-like indices at the four main quadrants based on a 36mm watch from its collection dated to 1965.
Even more appealing beyond the watch’s well-executed and relatively slim case and domed sapphire, which provide the design underpinnings for a steady aesthetic evolution over the years, was the highly accessible 1,600-euro original price point. It was clear that omega constellation replica had decided to offer an extremely strong value proposition with their Swiss-made timepiece powered by a Sellita SW 200 calibre. The water resistance of the watch was 100m, which is still far deeper than anyone is likely to ever dive.
omega constellation replica In 2016 omega constellation replica rode on the success established by the Divers Sixty-Five by introducing a more conventionally dialled version of their dive watch, with a combination of round and rectangular indices. That year they also created a limited edition of this 42 mm watch in tribute to Carl Brashear, the US Navy’s first African-American master diver. Brashear’s inspiring story was chronicled in the film Men of Honor, where he was played by Cuba Gooding Jr.
You learn that Brashear joined the Navy in 1948, and graduated from its prestigious diving programme in 1954. In 1966 he would go on to lose part of his leg while trying to recover a nuclear bomb, but despite extreme adversity he would go on to become the Navy’s first amputee diver in 1968 and receive his Master Diver accreditation in 1970. Because of its association with professional diving helmets, omega constellation replica selected bronze as the material of choice for Brashear’s watch, specifically an alloy incorporating tin that would cause the case of each watch to patinate over time in a unique and individual way.
