Here is a fabulous, all original Omega Constellation Chronometer from 1966. The silver sunburst dial is in excellent condition, with a steel Omega logo, emblem and Constellation star. It has wedged steel hour markers with black contrast. The dauphine hands are in very fine condition, with the original black contrast 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. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.

The stainless steel bezel is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The slim stainless steel case with the original crown on a C shaped case is in very fine condition with a radial pattern on the face and brushed sides. It shows light overall wear, both towards the lugs and on the case sides. The stainless steel case back has a crisp and clean Geneva observatory medallion and is in fine condition with a few scratches and marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original Milanese Omega bracelet is in very fine condition with just a few marks. It is big enough for large wrists and can be freely adjusted within its length.  

Inside the watch, perhaps the best watch movement ever made, Omega’s caliber 564, beats strongly and accurately to within about +8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in June 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

This is an understated yet dignified watch that is very versatile and can be used for most any occasion. Wearing it will give you that wonderful sense of heritage and history as you admire it on your wrist!

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.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
