Here is a fabulous, all original Omega Constellation C shape from 1966. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo, emblem and Constellation star and just a few tiny spots. It has steel railroad style hour markers with yellow contrast, double at 12 o’clock. The dauphine hands are in fair condition with visible corrosion but the original lume intact. The steel framed window at 3 o’clock displays the date, which can be semi-quick set by repeatedly pulling the crown out to the outermost position. This should only be done with the hands at the lower half of the dial.
The stainless steel bezel continues the sunburst pattern of the dial and is in very fine condition with just a few minor marks, perhaps most notable at around 6 o’clock. The C shape stainless steel case with the original crown and embedded lugs is in excellent condition, with a radial pattern on the face and brushed sides with a polished bevel separating them. There are a few minor nicks and marks along the sharp edges. The stainless steel case back is in excellent condition, with a well preserved steel Geneva observatory medallion and just a few small marks.
The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.
Inside the watch, perhaps the best movement ever made, Omega’s 564, beats strongly and accurately to within about +-8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in January 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
Constellations are perhaps our very favorite series, with a very classic and timeless design. The C shape design adds a different dimension to the series, and the fabulous dial and overall excellent condition of this watch makes it easy to love.
Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
