A Closer Look at the OMEGA Constellation 41mm with Meteorite Dial

The OMEGA Constellation 41mm features a stainless steel case and a mono-rang bracelet made from the same material. The design carries the classic Constellation elements, like the polished claws and half-moon facets, and it adds a black ceramic bezel with Liquidmetal Roman numerals for contrast. But the most unique aspect of this watch is the dial, which is made from a genuine piece of iron meteorite. Meteorites are incredibly rare, having traveled billions of miles through space before landing on Earth. The piece used in this watch has undergone a Rhodium-grey color treatment, and because each meteorite has a natural, unique pattern, no two dials are identical. The dial is finished with black PVD-treated hands, indexes, and the Constellation star, along with a date window at 6 o’clock.

The use of meteorite material in watchmaking is rare, partly due to the scarcity of the material itself. Meteorites are remnants of celestial bodies, often billions of years old, and only a small fraction of them make it through Earth’s atmosphere intact. The unique Widmanstätten pattern seen in meteorite dials, a result of the metal’s cooling process in space, cannot be replicated. This makes each OMEGA Constellation 41 mm with a meteorite dial not only a functional timepiece but also a piece of cosmic history.

This watch isn’t just about looks. It’s powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900, a movement that meets the highest standards for precision and performance. The watch is METAS-certified, meaning it has passed tests for accuracy, performance, and magnetic resistance. You can see the movement through the transparent sapphire caseback.
Here are the key technical details:
• Case: Stainless steel, 41 mm diameter, 13.4 mm thickness.
• Dial: Grey, made from genuine iron meteorite.
• Crystal: Domed scratch-resistant sapphire with anti-reflective treatment on both sides.
• Water Resistance: 5 bar (50 meters / 167 feet).
• Movement: Self-winding OMEGA Calibre 8900, with a 60-hour power reserve.
• Bracelet: Stainless steel with a foldover butterfly clasp.
• Weight: Approximately 172 grams.

An additional feature of the OMEGA Constellation that is shared with almost all of OMEGA’s wristwatch collections is its anti-magnetic ability to resist magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. This rating is particularly impressive because it far exceeds the typical resistance found in most watches. In everyday life, we’re surrounded by magnetic fields—everything from smartphones to magnetic clasps can impact a watch’s accuracy. Most standard anti-magnetic watches offer protection up to 1,000 gauss, so the fact that this OMEGA can withstand 15 times that amount highlights its advanced engineering and ensures it remains precise even in environments where strong magnetic fields are present.
