Omega's flagship line for decades, the Constellation represents style, luxury, attention to detail, robust function, and most all, superior precision. Elegant and stately, it is suitable for both casual and professional dress.

Today's offering showcases this retro styled classic Constellation chronometer in gorgeous original condition. It's a prime example of a later vintage Constellation, Omega's flagship watch, before the quartz revolution took hold.

Featuring an officially certified automatic chronometer movement with quick-set date and a robust case, this late 60's - early 70's era Omega demonstrates why the Constellation was the company's flagship line.

Pleasingly full size for the era, it measures 36.3mm side, slightly larger than a Rolex Datejust.

Here are some of its features:

High grade movement officially certified as a chronometer by the C.O.S.C. and adjusted to five positions and to run accurately across a wide range of temperatures

Ultra-thin design automatic movement measuring only 4.25mm thick

Thinner rotor to reduce stress on key winding parts

Hacking feature for accurate time-setting

Textured silver dial with wide steel markers topped with black for easy reading

Distinctive large retro styled case

It is all original down and presents as a 9.5 out of 10.

Its case presents as just short of perfect mint. Its dial is original and untouched, in mint condition. Its luminous has lightly toned nicely. Its original bracelet, which came from the factory with a loose design, has light stretch. Its finish presents as mint.

Its movement has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker and is keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

A more than half-century old all-original Omega that looks like new on the wrist!
