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.

The wristwatch showcased in today's offering is a classic example of a vintage quartz Constellation!

It has a timeless stainless steel case, royal blue dial, and Omega caliber 1333 Accuset quartz movement with a full 17 jewels, unusual for a quartz movement. It has a quick-setting hour for easy changing between time zones and advancing of the date and a push button for precise setting of the minutes.

It is fully Omega - all of its parts are original even down to the waterproofing seal for the crystal!

It has just finished a beautifully done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.6 out of 10. The case presents as just short of mint. Note that the back has been realigned since the photographs were taken.

The dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing on the movement and installed a new battery.

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

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