What is an Omega Constellation 123.10 copy watch?
An Omega Constellation 123.10 copy watch is a replica of the stainless steel Constellation built from 2009 to 2014. The 123.10 prefix marks a steel case, and the numbers that follow set the diameter, most often 35 mm or 38 mm. A faithful copy keeps the claw lugs at 3 and 9 o'clock, the integrated bracelet, and a date window at 3 o'clock.

What does the 123.10 code actually mean?
Omega places a numeric case code ahead of the movement and dial codes. In 123.10.35.20.03.001, the 123.10 is the steel case family, 35 is the 35 mm diameter, 20 is the movement family, and 03 is the blue dial. Copy listings often shorten this to 123.10 and leave the rest implied.
Because the code changes with every size and dial, two watches that look identical online can be different references. Match the full number if you want the copy to line up with a specific original.

Which sizes and dials get copied most?
- 35 mm steel with blue, black, silver, or mother of pearl dials
- 38 mm steel with blue or silver dials
- Two tone versions with steel cases and gold capped claws
- Diamond set bezel and dial variants
The 35 mm model is closest to the classic Constellation proportions and is the easiest to find. The 38 mm version suits larger wrists and uses a wider bracelet.
What should you check on a 123.10 copy?
- Case diameter, measured across the case without the crown. A 35 mm copy should read 35 mm, not 34 or 36.
- Claw shape at 3 and 9 o'clock. Original claws taper and sit flush with the case band.
- Dial text. OMEGA, Constellation, and Co-Axial Chronometer should be crisp and correctly spaced.
- Date window. It should sit at 3 o'clock with a matched date disc and no thick printed border.
- Bracelet taper. Links narrow toward the clasp and end links hug the case with no gaps.
- Caseback. The Observatory medallion and the eight stars should be stamped rather than printed flat.
Quartz or automatic inside a copy?
Budget copies use a Japanese quartz or a basic Chinese automatic. Better copies use a Miyota 8215 or a clone of the ETA 2824, which gives a sweeping seconds hand and a smoother winding feel.
An automatic copy is thicker and heavier, so it tends to match the presence of the original better than a thin quartz model.
What price is normal for a 123.10 copy watch?
Simple quartz copies sit at the low end of the market. Automatic copies with a sapphire crystal, solid end links, and correct dial printing cost more, and that gap reflects real hardware differences.
Ask which movement and crystal are fitted before comparing prices, because two listings at very different prices may not be the same watch.
Common red flags to avoid
- Photos that hide the caseback or the clasp
- Dial text that looks bold, blurry, or misspelled
- Claws cast as one piece with the case instead of separate polished parts
- A date window that is off centre or pushed to 4:30
