The Constellation "C" or "Connie", as it is fondly called by Omega aficionados, was launched in December 1964 and is regarded as the third generation of the famous Constellation product line. The lugs on the tonneau-shaped case curve inward and look a little like two capital letters C that face each other; this makes the case appear larger and thus follows the design trend of the 1960s.
