Superb Heavy Solid 18ct Gold Omega Constellation Automatic from 1962

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Fowey River Antiques (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

Outstanding Heavy Omega solid 18ct gold gents wristwatch from 1962.

This is a very fine example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier swiss maker Omega.

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 1962.

The dial is near perfect having just been professionally restored a few years ago . It has gold dagger hands and baton markers

The constellation logo on the back of the case is bright and crisp all of the eight 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 1962.

The case measures 34.5mm in diameter excluding the winding crown.

It comes with its original Omega 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.

We have shown it with a chestnut strap but we can fit almost any colour or style you prefer, we keep most things in stock.

This is a very special lifetime watch that can be handed down through the generations.

All of our watches comes with a 1 year warranty and free insured shipping.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Introduced in 1952, the Constellation series represented Omegas flagship line of chronometer-rated wristwatches. Characterised by high precision movements and distinct design features such as the Geneva Observatory emblem on the case back, these timepieces defined mid-twentieth-century luxury dress watch design.

High-end Swiss timepieces of this era were primarily crafted with 18ct or 14ct solid gold cases, acrylic crystals, and self-winding mechanical movements. Straps were typically constructed from natural leather, such as alligator, lizard, or calfskin, secured with matching gold or gold-plated buckles.

Authentic pieces feature hallmarked solid gold cases with interior markings on the case back indicating gold purity, reference numbers, and the Omega logo. The automatic movement inside will bear a distinct serial number matching official production dates, alongside sharp, correctly proportioned dial typography and applied indices.

When worn, a mid-century gold dress watch pairs seamlessly with tailored modern suits or smart casual attire. For interior styling when not in use, displaying the timepiece on a leather watch stand, velvet tray, or under a glass cloche on a dressing table or desk creates a refined focal point.

Mechanical timepieces require routine servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years to clean and re-lubricate internal components. Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, moisture, and extreme temperatures, and store it in a dry, padded presentation box.
