The Watch
In horology, the Constellation is synonymous with art of luxurious precision in its most refined form: a high-performance movement combined with the perfection of an elegant and refined exterior. On the dial: the name Constellation highlighted by an applied gold star. On the case back: the famous medallion featuring an observatory crowned by a constellation of eight stars, evoking the numeros exploits of Omega in world chronometer competition, among which are the famous world precision records set in 1933 and 1936.The constellation stands for pride, luxury and prestige.
The name Constellation was suggested to Adolphe Vallat, Omega’s sales manager, by Bruno Passoni, a sales representative of Carlo De Marchi, Omega’s general agent for Italy.

The Condition
It's hard to believe that this watch is over 50 years old.
The watch is well preserved and in an very good condition despite the age. Especially the original dial is in a pristine condition with just small signs of ageing between index 10-11. This is the rare onyx-dial. It really is as good as seen in the pictures.
The case got some small signs of wear and the caseback got some scars from being open. Since we want our Watches as authentic as possible we have decided to not remove the scratches by polish the caseback - we prefer is genuin and unpolished. Look for example at the bevels.
The watch got an original crystal with the logo stampens in centre.
The watch really is as nice as it looks in the pictures.
The watch is serviced and under warranty!
