Today's offering showcases this prime example of an uncommon tonneau Constellation with very cool blue vignette dial. The color dial is a little richer and deeper than the photos suggest - they couldn't to do it justice!
Tonneau Constellations are one of the few that have a more rectangular dress watch appearance.
Featuring an officially certified automatic chronometer movement with a sleek stainless steel case, this late 60's - early 70's era Omega demonstrates why the Constellation was the company's flagship line.
Its caliber 1001 ultra-thin automatic movement measures only 4.25mm thick and has a thinner rotor to reduce stress on winding parts and is adjusted to run accurately in five positions and across a range of temperatures.
It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.5 out of 10. The case presents as just short of perfect mint.
The dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration the movement has been freshly fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch we have installed a new calfskin band making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
A nearly half century old Omega that looks like new!
