Instead of the familiar Swiss manufacture, this watch was housed in an 18k rose gold case made by \u003cstrong\u003ePrécision Genève France (PGF)\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the French case makers Omega occasionally employed to navigate local import duties and gold regulations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe difference is immediate once it's examined. A slimmer bezel, longer sculpted lugs, and beautifully balanced proportions give this French-cased Constellation a more refined presence, while preserving everything that makes a first-generation Connie so unmistakable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eEqually impressive is the level of preservation. The case remains wonderfully sharp, the observatory medallion retains all of its definition, and the untouched two-tone dial still displays the depth and brilliance that made these early Constellations so special.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFrench-cased Constellations occupy a fascinating niche within the model's history. Produced in small numbers and rarely encountered today, they offer a fresh perspective on one of Omega's most celebrated designs.
