If you’re into watches—like, really into watches—there’s a decent chance you’ve already noticed it. The distinct pattern of the bracelet. The shape of the indices—not to mention the lugs.

Have you seen them somewhere before? Yeah, you have! And you remember them because the watch looked good so damn good. Delroy Lindo knows that. He wore the watch to the 2026 Oscars, after all. And now we know why the Sinners star showed up with such a fantastic timepiece on his wrist.

Omega just announced a new iteration of its much-beloved Constellation collection called Constellation Observatory. The lineup takes its cues from the mid-century designs that made the Connie (its fan-bestowed nickname) such a hit in the first place. Gone are the griffes (or claws) that defined later Constellation models. In their place, you’ve got a dodecagonal pie-pan dial, in which the outer edge slopes downward toward the minute track, alongside kite-shaped indices and newly reworked hour and and minute hands that look very close to dauphine hands but subtly mirror the shape of the indices.

Collection of four luxury watches and a watch case.

The Constellation Observatory collection spans nine different models. Five are executed in precious metal; the rest are in steel. All feature an exhibition case back, which gives you a closer look at two new calibers: the 8914 and 8915. And even when you consider the aesthetics of these new watches, the new movements might just be the stars of the show. They are, after all, the very first two-hand movements to achieve Master Chronometer certification after testing at the Laboratoire de Précision using new acoustic methodology.

So now you know the new Constellation Observatory watches are precise. Accurate. And, not to understate things, very stylish. The only question is: Can you really choose one out of nine? Good luck.
