The Watch
.
Who wants a lot of vintage bang for their buck? If it's you look no further, we believe these Constellations would be an eye watering amount of money if new in today's economy.
.
These Omega Constellations are really well thought of in the Vintage Watch World thanks in no small part to this case configuration, known as “c-shaped”, was designed by the late Gerald Genta of Royal Oak, Bvlgari and Nautilus fame.
.
They look insanely cool on the Wrist, have a great Movement and are of Iconic Design.
.This Guy also comes with a Omega Box.

Bits that stand out:

Overall the Constellation is in very nice Vintage condition.
The Dial is in lovely condition, however it does have some very very minor marks which is to be expected of a now 60 year old.
Steel Case is in very good nick.
