Omega Constellation “Uggla” – Reference BA 196.1070, Caliber 1445 (c. 1990s)
Heritage Narrative
Nicknamed “Uggla” (“the Owl” in Swedish) for the two claw-like “griffes” that grip the bezel at 3 and 9 o’clock, this Constellation embodies the design language Omega introduced in 1982. The claws were more than decoration: they compressed the gasket, improving water-resistance while giving the watch its unmistakable silhouette—an alert, wide-eyed look that inspired the Swedish moniker. Measuring a versatile 32 mm and cased in yellow-gold-plated stainless steel, the watch pairs a champagne dial with an integrated bracelet, reflecting the sleek, jewellery-inspired aesthetic that dominated 1990s luxury sports watches. Inside, Omega’s quartz Caliber 1445 delivers chronometer-level accuracy with virtually no maintenance, making this piece as practical as it is collectible.
