The following three lots, 11 – 13, are fine examples of Omega’s Constellation Electroquartz model, launched at the April 1970 Basel Fair. It features the famed Beta 21 movement: the movement, developed by a consortium of 21 Swiss watch companies, represents the first commercially viable foray of Swiss watchmaking into non-mechanical wristwatches. The Constellation model is prominently described and illustrated in “Omega – A Journey Through Time”, by Marco Richon, p. 374.
