Havaan Tuvali – Heritage Constellation Steel

Havaan Tuvali

Eric Yeh, a watchmaking enthusiast and watchmaker, decided in 2016 to strike out on his own and create watches according to his own vision. This is how the Havaan Tuvali brand was born. Under this brand, Eric has the opportunity to unleash his creativity and seek original solutions for his ideas, thereby creating truly unique watches. Watches with the Havaan Tuvali logo are unmissable, especially due to the interesting materials used and their design. Eric manufactures most of the parts himself – for example, dials, hands, and sometimes even cases. The availability of these limited models is time-limited.

Technical details:

Vintage yet very contemporary

The origin of this model dates back to the 1980s, when the Omega brand commissioned the production of approximately 50 cases and bracelets intended for the Constellation model line. These prototypes were fitted with now rare brass ETA 2824 movements and represented an early stage of development that ultimately did not go into mass production.

Collaboration with the original manufacturer was later terminated, and Omega decided to proceed with a different supplier. The unfinished watches remained with the original manufacturer, where they were stored for over four decades without further use.

After years, these almost completed watches were taken over by the Havaan Tuvali brand, which carefully finished them and brought them to life under its own brand. The result is a mechanical watch combining authentic historical components with a new context of contemporary independent watchmaking, while preserving the original character and technical integrity.

Unique dial

The watch dial is what sets it apart from being just a charming vintage piece. Eric made the dials by hand.

The dials are lacquered, and Eric also added metallic powder to the lacquer, giving each dial a unique sparkle. The dial is further set with brass balls installed as hour markers. The hands are, of course, handcrafted by Eric. They are also heat-blued.

The production of the watches is limited – partly due to production capacity, and also to the number of cases Eric has available. This is therefore a unique opportunity to acquire a truly original and unique vintage piece with a timeless design and an interesting story.
