Colman Domingo's Omega Constellation is the Alpha of small watches
Fresh from his weekend house in The Hamptons

I AM BEGINNING to believe that Colman Domingo couldn’t look bad if you paid him.
The Euphoria star was spotted on his way to Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he was guest-hosting, dressed like he’d just dropped in from his weekend house in the Hamptons.
His Ralph Lauren fit – Harrington jacket, graphic polo for a double-barrel popped collar look, madras baseball cap and oxblood loafers, all rendered in the fundamentals of Ivy style – is a baseline bar for off-duty style. But tucked beneath that pushed-up sleeve was where the gold was, literally: a 28mm Omega Constellation, conveniently catching the light every time Domingo raised a hand to wave.
If we are hazarding a guess, this specific model looks to be an Omega Constellation Meteorite that was released back in 2024. Sadly, no longer available retail but you may be able to get your hands on one in the resale market.
The dial is cut from genuine iron meteorite, given a linen-toned finish; since the meteorite’s pattern varies piece to piece, no two dials come out identical. Diamond hour markers and an 18K gold Constellation star complete the face, with the Omega Calibre 4061 quartz movement housed underneath.

At 28mm and just under 8.5mm thick, it sits closer to a bracelet. Which is the technique applied by Domingo here: a watch that wears more like jewellery, paired with some additional gold and pearl pieces, than a tool watch. It puts it on a scale that puts it in the same conversation as several other small, ornamented watches men have been reaching for lately.
But the Constellation itself dates to 1952, when Omega turned a limited-run 1948 anniversary piece, the Centenary, into a permanent line. The name refers to the caseback medallion – an observatory beneath eight stars, each marking a chronometer trial victory Omega recorded between 1933 and 1952. The watch built its reputation on precision, and the original “pie-pan” dial, with its twelve sloped facets, became one of the most recognised silhouettes in Omega’s catalogue.
Later decades brought the claw-set Manhattan case and C-shaped lugs, and by the 90s the women’s Constellation had become a stylistic pillar for the brand, helped along by an ad campaign fronted by Cindy Crawford. This gem-set 28mm Moonshine reference descends directly from that line.
Domingo is in good company when it comes to men doing daintier timepieces. Timothée Chalamet has worn a Cartier Panthère sized for a woman’s wrist. Pedro Pascal has been photographed in Chanel’s Boy.Friend. Paul Mescal has built a reputation around vintage Cartier pieces most men’s watch guides would have filed under “hers.” As case sizes crept toward 44mm and beyond through the 2000s and 2010s, smaller references have become part of the same conversation, watches once marketed exclusively to women, worn now for scale and craftsmanship as opposed to resistance ratings and tachymeters.
None of this should come as a surprise from Domingo, a man already credited with going all in on mesh flats and punctuating outfits with lace gloves. A gold Omega with diamonds set into its bezel is a natural addition to that list.
For Domingo, the Constellation slots into an outfit built on references to a specific East Coast wardrobe with collegiate, Ivy League ideals of preppy classic style.
In other words, hook it to my veins.
