The Omega Constellation 41mm 131.23.41.21.06.002 is the two-tone version with the silk-embossed dial and the black ceramic bezel. The steel case is paired with Sedna gold-plated claws, crown, and bezel numerals. The dial has the same crosshatch linen texture as the all-steel version but the hands and indices are Sedna gold instead of blackened. The gold claws gripping the black ceramic bezel create a three-material look. Steel, gold, ceramic. VSF Watch got the dial texture, the Sedna plating, and the ceramic bezel right.

The two-tone split. Gold where the eye lands. Steel where the watch takes wear. The Sedna gold plating covers the four claws at 3 and 9, the winding crown, and the Roman numerals on the ceramic bezel. The case body, bezel base, and deployant clasp are steel. The split is deliberate and the gold elements are distributed evenly across the front of the watch. VSF matched the Sedna tone correctly. The plating is even across the claws, crown, and numerals.
The dial. Silver with the silk-embossed crosshatch texture. Same linen-like pattern as the all-steel version. The difference is the hardware. The faceted hands, the wedge indices, the Omega logo, and the Constellation star at 6 are all Sedna gold plated instead of blackened or rhodium-plated. The gold against the silver textured dial reads warmer and more traditional than the blackened version. The date at 6 keeps the symmetry. VSF got the texture and the gold plating right.
The bezel. Polished black ceramic with Roman numerals filled in Sedna gold. The gold fill is flush with the ceramic surface. No raised texture between the two materials. The black ceramic against the Sedna gold numerals and the polished steel claws creates the most visually complex bezel in the Constellation range. Three materials on one surface.
The case. 41mm in 316L steel. Brushed surfaces with polished bevels. The crown is Sedna gold-plated. The casebody is steel. The 41mm platform wears larger than the 38mm Constellations but still fits under a dress cuff.
The movement. Dandong 8900 automatic with the independent jumping hour hand. Dual barrels. The hour hand jumps in one-hour clicks for time zone changes without stopping the running seconds. The date is linked to the hour hand. Exhibition caseback with decorated movement. Winding is smooth.
The strap. Black alligator-pattern leather with a rubber lining and a steel deployant clasp. The rubber lining protects the leather from sweat and humidity. The black strap keeps the focus on the dial texture and the two-tone case. The deployant clasp is brushed and polished to match the case.
