1968 Omega Constellation Mens Automatic Chronometer Watch - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 8786

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 classically styled Constellation chronometer. It features a timeless and elegant case and royal blue dial.

It measures 35mm without the crown - one millimeter smaller than a Rolex Datejust.

Powering the watch is Omega's officially certified chronometer caliber 712 movement, the thinnest automatic movement ever made by the company.

It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice!

The classic case presents as mint. The original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration the movement has been freshly fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. Photos of the inside available upon request.

We have tested the watch on a machine that spins it around in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist, and it is keeping time on par with a new Omega.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

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