Omega Seamaster De Luxe Ref. GX6546 14k
Let us introduce you, to a truly exceptional find – the gentleman’s Omega Seamaster in a De Luxe 14ct yellow gold case. This masterpiece boasts a beautifully aged 2-tone dial, elegantly complemented by a brown crocodile strap.
Crafted with precision, the automatic movement features a ‘bumper’ winding system, ensuring reliable performance with every wear. This timepiece is not just rare; it’s a testament to Omega’s legacy of excellence. The De Luxe case, in remarkable condition, exudes vintage charm, with its original Omega-signed winding crown and screw-down rear cover – a design scarcely seen today. Its lustrous gold finish adds to its allure, offering a timeless elegance that modern watches can’t replicate.
With dimensions of 34.5mm in diameter (excluding the crown), 10.5mm thick, and 43mm lug to lug, it sits gracefully on the wrist, commanding attention with its undeniable presence.
The dial tells its own story, showcasing a warm, even patina and adorned with original ‘dagger’ hands and yellow gold hour markers. Signed ‘Omega Automatic, Seamaster,’ it’s a rare gem to find a De Luxe complete with its original dial intact.
Powered by an automatic movement (calibre 500, the successor to the iconic ‘bumper’ movements), this Omega Seamaster is not just a watch; it’s a statement of refined taste and enduring style.

When Omega celebrated its centennial in 1948, it launched its first chronometer-rated wrist watch, the Centenary, to commemorate the event. The watch was an instant hit and in 1952, Omega decided it was time to expand its chronometer efforts. The Constellation was born as its top line of officially chronometer-rated watches.
The Constellation would be easily recognizable through a star on the dial and a caseback featuring an image of the Geneva observatory and eight stars. A nod to the accuracy records Omega set at the Kew-Teddington observatory in the 1930’s.
The first models featured bumper-automatics. A variation on the common free-spinning rotor, where the rotation is limited to 120 degrees, before the rotor hits a spring. This can be felt when handling the watch as a little bump. After four years, these calibers were replaced by free-spinning automatics.
The earlier models from the 1950’s and 1960’s featured the iconic pie-pan dial. The dial would slope down at an angle around its outer perimeter, providing a very cool sense of dimensionality. Since the look is reminiscent of the underside of a pie-pan, a nickname was quickly born. Halfway through the sixties, flat-dial versions slowly took over. The pie-pan remains a highly sought-after Constellation variant today.
In the 1970’s, all sorts of creative case shapes and integrated bracelets were launched. Different sizes were introduced for men and women. Countless dial variations were sold. Steel, gold and gold-cap versions can be found.
The Constellation is clearly Omega’s high end range. More effort was put into finishing techniques and accuracy. Where the Seamaster and Speedmaster lines were more about utility, the Constellation was (and still is) a tour-de-force in watchmaking precision.
