Today's offering showcases this beautiful example of "C" or third generation Constellation with distinctive green vignette dial. It has all of its original parts down to the original crystal gasket!

It offers some of the things that we really like from Omegas in this period.

Its case has the quintessential retro styled tonneau case. Both the bezel sides and the case sides have high-polish facets that contrast and enhance the look of the satin finish elsewhere.

Powering the watch is Omega's caliber 1011 movement officially certified as a chronometer and with a quick-setting date and with 23 jewels.

The ultra-thin automatic movement measures only 4.25mm thick. It has a thinner rotor to reduce stress on winding parts.

It has all of its original part and has just finished a true expertly done restoration - it presents as a 9.7 out of 10.

Its case presents as beautiful mint with perfectly crisp facets on the lugs and bezel. Our photos couldn't dit it justice. Its dial has been meticulously custom refinished in a green vignette - green at the center that fades to black around the periphery. The printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration its chronometer movement has been serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is running very strong and true, keeping time nearly on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch we have installed a new leather band and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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

A more than half-century old Omega that presents on the wrist like new!

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
