OMEGA CONSTELLATION QUADRELLA

First introduced in 2004 and immediately turning heads, the Constellation Quadrella introduced its curvaceous shape to the four diamond set “claws” on the case are the classic design reference of this “ Connie ” which was first introduced in 1952. Characteristic of the Constellation, the strap is integrated into the stainless steel case by way of two half-moon facets that form an elegant transition between the case and strap. The unusual rounded barrel shape of the case is enhanced by the sparkle of diamonds, a rainbow of precious stones, mother-of-pearl and brightly coloured alligator straps. Two versions of this new Constellation were presented: the Quadrella (32.60 x 25 mm) on a colourful alligator strap or the “Mini” (25.30 x 19.30 mm) available in stainless steel with a matching metal bracelet with or without diamonds as well as 18-carat gold or 18-carat gold/stainless steel versions.

Key to the Constellation Quadrella’s look are the four central claws or “griffes”. This classic design reference has been updated and the claws are now oversized. Further enhancing this feature, on the Quadrella each “griffe” is set with 12 diamonds while on the “Mini” there are 15 of these precious stones on each claw. The use of Roman numerals is also characteristic of the Constellation family but the Quadrella adds a twist by using two different-sized painted quarter numerals. The remaining hour markers are set with rubies, emeralds and blue and orange sapphires that together with the lustre of the mother-of-pearl dial create a very feminine and individual look. The Omega logo is applied to the dial and complements the tapered, facetted and diamond polished hands. The watch’s domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal follows the same rounded contours as the case and is coated with an anti-reflective treatment on the inside. Like all Omega watches, the Quadrella benefits from a robust construction and high-quality standards that guarantee water-resistance to 30 metres.

The Constellation Quadrella received a makeover in 2006 with a fresh range of colours for its wardrobe. The energy of summer came to life with ‘green anis’, ‘ice blue’, white and red straps that complement the coloured precious stone hour markers and the gleaming white mother-of-pearl dial making this the accessory of the season.

True to its origins, the case back of the Quadrella is decorated with the “Observatory Medallion” that reminds us of Omega’s associations with astronomy and space discovery. A shorter deployant bar is available on the colour alligator straps or on a new generation of stainless steel bracelets for the “Mini”. Both the straps and bracelets are secured in place with a foldover clasp. All Quadrella models are powered by the precision Omega quartz calibre 1376, which has a battery life of 32 months.
