Omega Constellation | 1966 | Calibre 551 Watch

Omega Constellation | 1966 | Calibre 551 

This might just be one of the very finest examples of a Constellation from the 60's. It's certainly not the cheapest, however, read on to find out why we value this watch the way we do. Sold in the UK in August 1966 the serial number (2446XXXX) gives us a year of production as 1966 too. Original papers confirm these details and are accompanied with the manual and the extremely rare Constellation signed Omega Box. 34mm stainless steel case with a very well-preserved champagne colour dial showing very few imperfections. Gold hands and baton hour markers all of which are thought to be original.

Currently fitted to a generic black leather strap the original Omega steel bracelet and clasp are included in the sale. Operating from a Caliber 551 Omega movement this automatic watch has undergone a recent service and is working in expectational order. With all this in mind (the service, box, papers, bracelet and dial condition) you can see why it may well be worth paying a little more if looking for this model or an excellent example of a vintage Omega dress watch.
