Superb Omega Constellation 1001 "Richard Burton" C1969

1940 - 1960
Description

This is a superb example of a 1969 Constellation Chronometer wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Omega.

The watch is the Constellation automatic date with calibre 1001 chronometer grade movement, adjusted to five positions and temperature - as you can see it is in fabulous condition.

The dial is original and near perfect it has not been restored or retouched in any way . It has the Constellation observatory symbol embellished on the back of the case which is bright and crisp and also the Omega symbol on the crown.

It has its original bracelet which will fit a wrist size upto 7 3/4 inches or 20cm.

The movement has just been fully serviced and comes with a 1 year warranty.

The case has been professionally polished and ultrasonically cleaned so it is in superb condition.

This was the watch favoured by Richard Burton who received it as a gift from Elizabeth Taylor but as you would expect he had the solid 18ct gold model.

The watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

This is a large chunky robust watch measuring 34mm wide without the crown.

Overall this watch is in superb condition and an absolute must for Omega collectors.

The watch has been fully serviced by and is guaranteed to be a genuine Omega in all respects. It has been professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.
