Description

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.

FAQs

Introduced in 1952, the Omega Constellation line was created to represent the brands achievements in chronometer precision at observatory trials, quickly becoming a flagship model known for its high-grade automatic movements and distinctive star emblem.

These timepieces typically feature stainless steel or gold cases, acrylic crystals, and sophisticated mechanical automatic movements such as the calibre 551, which lack a quickset date feature but are renowned for their accuracy and durability.

Authentic pieces feature correct dial typography, the iconic applied gold star above the Constellation script, an observatory medallion engraved on the case back, and corresponding serial numbers on the inside of the case back and movement.

A classic timepiece adds understated elegance to contemporary tailoring or smart-casual attire, serving as a versatile accessory that bridges mid-century design heritage with modern sartorial style.

Owners should avoid exposure to moisture and magnetic fields, keep the watch away from extreme temperatures, and ensure it receives professional servicing every three to five years to maintain mechanical integrity.
