·For sale or trade is a very attractive 1960s Omega Constellation with a dog leg case, pie pan dial, and pink/rose gold dial furniture. In my experience, the pink/rose gold accents are quite uncommon and very elegant. The original silver dial is in nice condition but does have some surface level debris. The dog leg lug case has been polished. The 561 caliber movement is a 'special chronometer' movement as described here (see 'third milestone', more detail below as well). It is running well, but service history is unknown.
Additional details are below, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
Dial: Original, non-refinished, silver pie pan dial with pink/rose gold markers/hands is in nice condition. The dial does have some light surface level dirt that may come off with a light brushing (will defer to your watchmaker on that). The pink/rose gold dial furniture is very uncommon and makes the watch quite dressy. Tritium lume is largely intact on the dial but is missing from the hour hand. "Swiss Made T" text is present below the 6 marker as expected.
Case: Original 34.5mm 168.005 reference case is in nice condition but has been polished. Bevels on the lugs are still faintly visible and the Constellation logo on the case back is in nice condition.
Crown: Original thin decagonal crown (very difficult to source) is in nice condition.
Crystal: Signed Omega crystal (Omega etched at center) is free of scratches.
Movement: Original 561 caliber automatic movement is clean and runs, winds, and sets well. The movement is a "special chronometer" movement as described here (paragraph copied below). Service history is unknown, so as always, a service is recommended before regular use.
"The Third Milestone
From the 5th October, 1964 to February 10th 1966, a consecutive series of 100,000 27.90 RA calibre 551 and 561 movements was submitted to the Bureau Officiel and all achieved the coveted “especially Good results” appellation.
Serial numbers for this series were from 24,410,000 to 24,509,999."
Strap: Comes on the 18mm brown alligator grain leather strap with steel buckle seen in the video above (not the other straps pictured). I also have some spare Omega BOR bracelets available for extra cost if interested.
Price is $1,450. Open to trades for non-radium 50s or early 60s Seamasters, Constellations, Geneves, Conquests, and Flagships (see my WTB/WTT here). I'll cover insured US shipping, international shipping is available but to be discussed with buyer. PayPal preferred for payment. OF seller reviews are here. Returns are accepted if watch is grossly misrepresented. Watch is located in Seattle, WA, USA.
