Here is a fabulous, all original Omega Constellation Chronometer from 1962 in a rare Jumbo size. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo, emblem and Constellation star and barely any marks. It has beautiful steel arrow tail markers at the poles and steel bar hour markers in between, all with black onyx inlay. There is a scatter of tiny corrosion spots on the dial, which aren’t visible to the naked eye. The dauphine hands with black contrast are in fine condition, also with a scatter of tiny corrosion marks. The steel framed window at 3 o’clock displays the date, which can be semi quick-set by repeatedly turning the hands through midnight, then backwards through 20:30 and then through midnight again. Repeat as necessary.

The wide stainless steel bezel is in fine condition with some overall wear, perhaps most pronounced at around 1 and 4 o’clock. The stainless steel case with the original crown and lovely drop shaped lugs is in fine condition with some marks at the lugs, in particular the bottom right lug, and with a few marks on the case sides as well. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a well preserved gold Geneva observatory medallion and some overall wear. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.

Inside the watch, Omega’s high grade 561 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in February 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

Constellations are great watches in their own right, and the wonderful dial on this one combined with the large size makes it a true joy to own and wear. This is a watch that will put a small on your face.

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.
