28 品 Twinkling beauty Competing with Liu for attention at the special Beijing event are OMEGA ’ s new Constellation 27mm models, which feature twinkling dark blue dials in aventurine glass to represent a clear, star-filled night. Constellation has been closely linked with the art of creating luxurious precision watches since 1952, when the brand launched the collection. A choice of four new timepieces – two cased in a blend of 18K red gold and stainless steel and two cased in classic stainless steel – are powered by the Co-Axial caliber in its luxury version and feature an 18K red gold rotor and balance bridge. They are essentially two sets of heavenly twins, two types of watch material and two types of bezel: diamond set or tone-in-tone Roman numerals. As always with this family of watches, the bezels are seemingly fixed in position by the iconic claws, which on the new 27mm models are either in 18K red gold or stainless steel, depending on the watch ’ s case. Adding sparkle to the striking blue aventurine glass dials are diamond hour-markers set in either 18K red or white gold holders. 18K red or white gold polished facetted hands complete the look. Each model is presented on a perfectly matching bracelet – brushed stainless steel with polished 18K red gold links or brushed- polished stainless steel – and strictly limited to just 388 pieces.
