Omega Constellation automatic chronometer vintage watch - c1961

Description

This is a simply beautiful Omega Constellation Chronometer, in as near to mint all-original condition for a watch dating from 1961 - a superb example with virtually no wear. It is so clean it could be New Old Stock. The watch features an original, unrestored dial, gleaming steel screwback case with original signed crown and 24 jewel automatic movement [Cal 551]. The watch comes complete with a new Omega buckle.. The watch will provide an excellent financial investment.

You can feel confident buying from me - I offer a full refund if you are not entirely happy with your purchase. I also provide a full receipt, six months guarantee (long enough for you to assess the working order) and a professional insurance valuation. I also welcome you to come and view the watch at our central London address, in the New Bond Street area. I offer my customers online prices - well below value - with offline availability and service.

The large solid steel and screwback case is in superb, clean condition with no significant wear. It measures 33.6mm wide, excluding the original signed crown x 43mm long including the lugs. The back closes tightly and the inside is signed ‘Omega Watch Company’, ‘Fab Suisse Swiss Made’, ‘Acier Inoxydable’, 'SGR' and reference ‘167.005’. The outside back of the cases carries the famous Constellation emblem.

The original, unrestored cream silvered dial is in excellent clean condition - just a small mark at 4 o clock. It features applied gold-plated batons with black enamel stripes, and Omega insignia and is signed ‘Omega’, ‘Automatic chronometer officially certified’, ‘Constellation’ and ‘Swiss made’. The original gold-plated hands, including centre-seconds hand, are in excellent unbent condition and the lens is very clear.

The automatic 24 jewel movement [Cal 551] is in very good working order and is signed ‘Omega Watch Co’, ‘Swiss’, ‘Adjusted five 5 positions and temperature’, ‘twenty-four 24 Jewels’, ‘551’ and the ‘18263470’ movement reference number. The movement has just been oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in excellent working order - brighter and cleaner than photographed.

I have put this beautiful watch on a new quality strap and have added a new genuine Omega buckle. The watch also comes complete with a new quality watch box for safekeeping.

A very special vintage watch from one of history's most famous names; highly collectable. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
