When you strap on the Constellation Co-Axial Gents' Chronometer, you can't help but feel like a king–an urban, 21st-century king, anyway. The Constellation is a brand new release from Omega, the heavyweight Swiss watchmaker.

The watch face has no extra dials or stopwatch functions, except for a date counter. Omega's sleek design works well in minimalist mode, even though the company has earned much fame for its sportier Speedmaster watches. Compared to the Speedmaster series, the Constellation is simpler and more elegant, more top-of-the-line practicality than bells and whistles. They're both exceptional, but the Constellation makes even more of a fashion statement.

Unlike some other high-end watch models, the Constellation feels classy, but also modern and chic. It's a watch for the modern business executive, an appropriate accessory for a board meeting or a baseball game.
