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.

It has a wonderful monochromatic look. Pleasingly full size for the era, it measures 36.3mm side, slightly larger than a Rolex Datejust.

Here are some of its features:

Steel toned case, dial, and hands and steel and black markers give it a monochromatic style

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 in gorgeous mint condition - it presents as a 9.8 out of 10.

Its case presents as perfect mint with perfect high polished facets. Its dial is original and presents in mint condition.

Its movement has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker ($695 value). We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist - it ran within one second per day, keeping exceptionally accurate time like or better than a brand new Omega.

For the finishing touch, it comes equipped with a new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle 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!
