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
Its hard to believe that this watch is over 50 years old. The watch is well preserved and in an outstanding condition despite the age as you can see. The original dial is in very good condition with just small signs of ageing and so is also the original crystal. The seconds hand may have been re-placed at some point since it is a bit longer (about 2mm) but its still aimed for the Constellation-serie since they are seen on Constellations with domed dial.
The case got some small signs of use but no deep scratches or dings. The case is the beautiful ”dog legs”-case with super sharp bevels.
The watch really is as nice as it looks in the pictures.
The watch is serviced and under warranty!
