Ron Gordon Watch Repair, a top-rated Omega watch repair shop in Midtown Manhattan, has announced a new blog post celebrating the Omega Constellation Perpetual Calendar, a 1990s classic that continues to impress with its durability and clever design. The post, titled "A '90s Gem Still Ticking Strong: The Omega Constellation Perpetual Calendar," highlights the watch's Omega Quartz Caliber 1680, a thermocompensated movement derived from ETA Caliber 252.511, featuring eleven jewels and a perpetual calendar pre-programmed through the year 2099. This calendar automatically accounts for leap years and varying month lengths without user intervention.
The blog post draws attention to the watch's unique features, such as a function where holding the crown down reveals the current month and year through the date window. The independent hour-hand adjustment also makes it a favorite among frequent travelers. From a design standpoint, the 35.5mm case wears larger due to its integrated bracelet and balanced proportions, with signature bezel claws, filled Roman numerals, and a mix of brushed and polished steel. Ron Gordon points to thoughtful details like the pusher-release clasp with an 18k gold Omega logo, even on all-steel versions.
While these watches may not top collector auctions, they are frequently seen in Ron Gordon's repair shop, often owned by longtime Omega fans or inherited as family heirlooms. Many still run well thanks to Omega's high-quality quartz engineering, but regular service is recommended.

"Battery replacements, case reseals, bracelet adjustments—these are simple services that can keep a Constellation running beautifully for years," Ron Gordon said. "If you've got one tucked away in a drawer, now's a good time to bring it in." He emphasizes that the Constellation Perpetual Calendar proves great design and smart mechanics never go out of style.
