The Watch
.
Omega has one of the most diverse watch catalogs of any modern brand, and one of the classic watches the company still produces today is the Constellation.Omega first began producing the Constellation line in 1952 and it's still a cornerstone of the modern brand. The Constellation was Omega’s answer to what a technically superior dress wristwatch should be.
.
Today's example dates to 1961 and boasts a wonderful Pie Pan Crosshair Dial with golden Arrow/Diamond Shaped Indices. Inside the quality Bevelled Dog Leg Steel Case sits the excellent Omega Calibre 561 Movement, which has been fully serviced and is ready to wear. This guy comes on the original and unusual Omega 8260 Steel Bracelet.
