Constellation Quartz 27 Brushed Red Gold / Diamond / Silver Omega

In Context

At 27 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

123.55.27.60.52.001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a red gold case.

The 1376 is Omega's small two-hand quartz movement, showing hours and minutes only, in the 24 mm and 27 mm ladies' cases. It powers 332 watches in this library, 262 of them Constellations. It is a rectangular movement of 9 mm by 15.15 mm with 5 jewels, 1.8 mm high without its battery, and its battery lasts about three and a half years. Leaving out the seconds hand is deliberate: a two-hand quartz has no stepper motor ticking round the dial, which suits a dress watch with a diamond bezel or a mother-of-pearl dial, and it makes the movement small enough for a 24 mm case. In the library it sits under 262 [Constellation](/brands/omega/constellation) references, the Constellation Quartz 24 and 27 in steel, yellow gold and red gold, and 70 [De Ville Prestige](/brands/omega/de-ville) references. The 24 mm case accounts for 125 references and the 27 mm for 122, with the 27.4 mm De Ville Prestige at 40. The [1456](/calibers/omega-1456) is the equivalent two-hand quartz in the 22 mm cases, the [4061](/calibers/omega-4061) the three-hand quartz with the long-life battery in the 25 mm and 28 mm Manhattans, and the [8700](/calibers/omega-8700) the mechanical alternative in the same collection.

331 other watches in the library run the Omega 1376.
