Constellation Quartz 35 Perpetual Calendar Stainless Steel / Black

In Context

At 35 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. 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.

1511.51.00 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a stainless steel case. Beyond the time it carries a perpetual calendar.

Thermocompensated quartz perpetual calendar movement with rhodium-plated finish. End of battery life indicator. Battery life: 48 months Type: Quartz Based on ETA ETA 252.511.
