Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1960s.
The watch is the rare and highly desirable Omega Constellation Chronometer with fully automatic calibre 561 24 jewel chronometer rated movement which has just been overhauled and serviced and comes with a 12 month warranty, as you can see it is in fabulous condition. This was Omegas top of the range watch in 1965.
The dial is perfect having just been professionally restored to new condition . It has gold dagger hands and baton markers
The constellation logo on the back of the case is bright and crisp all of the stars are sharp and well defined, its had very little wear.
As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.
The heavy 18ct gold fully hallmarked case has been ultrasonically cleaned and lightly hand polished so it is absolutely pristine with sharp edges. The case was made for Omega by the British company Dennisons who made most of the solid 18ct gold cases used by Omega for the British market. Dennison cases tend to be around 25% heavier than the standard Omega watch cases.
The case is fully hallmarked and the date letter confirms that it was made in 1965.
The case measures 34.5mm in diameter excluding the winding crown.
It comes with its original Omega constellation box also in excellent condition.
Omega are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.
Overall this watch is in outstanding condition and highly sought after by Omega collectors indeed it looks as if it was rarely worn.
The watch has just been fully serviced and is running to within the original factory specification.
