One of the greatest dial designs in watchmaking history. Four beautiful examples. ⌚

Few vintage watches are as instantly recognisable as the Omega Constellation Pie Pan.

Introduced during Omega's golden era of watchmaking, the iconic Pie Pan dial takes its name from its distinctive faceted, twelve-sided design, creating a remarkable sense of depth and character that has captivated collectors for generations.

More than 60 years later, its elegant proportions, applied hour markers and unmistakable dial architecture remain every bit as appealing as they were when first introduced.

We're delighted to have four beautiful examples currently available, each offering its own interpretation of this legendary design.

⌚ 1966 Omega Constellation Pie Pan ref. 168.005 — £2,195

“But modern Rolex watches are better… right?” 👀

Not necessarily.

This 1959 Rolex Day-Date ref. 6611B is living proof that some things simply get better with age.

At 67 years old, this extraordinary vintage Rolex still possesses the elegance, presence and character that made the Day-Date one of the most prestigious watches ever created.

First introduced in 1956, the Day-Date made history as the first self-winding, waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display both the day and date in full.

The ref. 6611B belongs to the earliest generation of this legendary collection, representing an era when Rolex was establishing the foundations of what would become one of the world's most recognisable luxury watches.

Modern Rolex watches undoubtedly offer advancements in precision, durability and technology. But there's something they simply cannot replicate.

The history. The character. The stories.

While some collectors spend years on waiting lists for the latest Rolex, others are discovering the appeal of watches that have already stood the test of time.

You can manufacture a new Rolex. You can't manufacture 67 years of history.

So, would you choose a modern Day-Date or this beautiful example from 1959?

£1,995 - The dark side of the Pie Pan. 🖤

This 1962 Omega Constellation ref. 168.005 is a particularly striking example of one of Omega’s most celebrated vintage designs, featuring a dial configuration that really sets it apart.

Its beautifully proportioned 35mm stainless steel case frames the standout feature — a stunning midnight black-coloured Pie Pan dial, with its distinctive faceted edges and applied hour markers creating an incredible contrast.

While silver and ch*****ne dials are more commonly associated with vintage Constellations, the deep black finish gives this example an entirely different personality.

Inside sits Omega’s highly regarded automatic Calibre 561 chronometer movement, a testament to the precision and craftsmanship of Omega’s golden era.

Finished on a premium black leather strap with an Omega buckle and presented with an Omega travel case, this is a beautifully balanced vintage Constellation with serious collector appeal.

For us, the black Pie Pan is one of the most striking combinations Omega ever produced. Would you agree?

Omega's golden era didn't end in the 1960s. 👀

And this 1971 Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 ref. 166.130 is a perfect example of why.

The 1970s marked an exciting period for Omega, with the brand experimenting with bolder designs, larger cases and a new approach to traditional watchmaking.

This particular Seamaster Cosmic 2000 captures that evolution beautifully.

Its impressive 38mm stainless steel case was generously proportioned for its time, offering a wrist presence that still feels remarkably contemporary over 50 years later.

The elegant pearl white dial provides a beautiful contrast to the distinctive case design, while inside sits Omega's reliable automatic Calibre 1012.

Finished on a premium black leather strap and presented with a Mr Watch Winder travel case, this is a fantastic example of a vintage Omega that deserves far more attention.

While the 1960s are often celebrated as Omega's golden era, watches like this remind us just how much the brand continued to innovate throughout the following decade.

Could the 1970s be Omega's most underrated decade?

We certainly think there's a strong argument for it. 👀
