Vintage Omega Constellation Pie pan dial

The iconic Omega "pie pan" dial - a true classic in the world of luxury watches. The Omega Constellation line was first introduced in 1952 and quickly became one of Omega's flagship collections. The "pie pan" dial, so named for its gently sloping concentric circular grooves that resemble the look of a pie tin, was a hallmark of the early Constellation models produced in the 1950s and 1960s. In short, the nickname “pie pan” comes from the dial resembling a pie pan turned upside down.

These vintage Constellation "pie pan" watches are highly sought after by collectors today for their elegant, vintage-inspired aesthetic and the high-quality, chronometer-certified movements that powered them. The attention to detail in the dial finishing and case design made these Constellations stand out even when they were first released. In addition to the pie pan dial, it has what collectors called the dog leg lugs.

Many collectors regard the Omega Constellation “pie pan dog leg” as one of the most iconic vintage constellations and I completely agree. The dial is surrounded by applied markers with onyx inlay. In my opinion, the pie pan dials found in vintage Constellations are among the most beautiful dials to be found in any vintage watch. The dog legged case was designed by the legendary watch designer Gerald Genta, who later designed more iconic watches like the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. 

In my opinion, condition is everything when it comes to this reference. These cases have so much angles, that any severe polishing would completely take away everything that makes this design so outstanding. This watch has a sharp case with all the angles still sharp and visible. 

Well-preserved examples in good condition can command significant sums from passionate vintage watch enthusiasts. The use of precious metals like gold, the historical significance of the Constellation line, and the enduring appeal of the "pie pan" dial all contribute to the desirability of these timepieces. More often then not, the solid gold version tended to be well preserved.
