This is one that I have wrestled with selling, but I'm being ruthless. So here it is .. I do hope it finds a good new home. Here's the specs up front: 1966 Omega Constellation 'Jumbo" Cal: 561 (24 jewels; automatic chronometer); date @3 Case Ref: 168.001 SS case with 14K gold caseback medallion Size: 37mm case / 19mm lug width Ser# 24447090 dates it at 1966 (see note below re the serial number) Genuine Omega Signed crystal Correct decagonal crown, domed dial and original hands Serviced by a watchmaker who specializes in vintage Omega in Canada in 2015. Asking price is: $1775 and going to be pretty firm on that. Will come with the black leather strap that its on in most of the pics. (Not the Omega one) Shipping will be included at this price .. by FedEx/Parcel Pro to Canada or the US .... I will be shipping from here in Victoria BC. For some background for those not familiar with this model ... This is a model that was made for the Asian market from 1962 to late 1966 and was highlighted by an article written by Desmond Guilfoyle on his Constellation Collectors blog. And coincidentally mine has a serial # that is only 19 off the one he has/had ! (His ser# is 24447071 - so its likely they came out of the factory within days of each other.) I wrote to him and he was thrilled to see it. There are slight marks on the dial from aging. They show as well as I am able to show them in the pics. According to the blog it is extremely difficult to find these in mint condition or ones that have NOT been refinished since they were found mostly in the tropical weather conditions. The watch is collectible for a few reasons as pointed out by Desmond. Its unique since it was a very large watch for the times. It is less common that other Constellation mainstream models of the period and good examples, usually from Japan, that still meet factory specifications (correct crown etc) are not common. Any questions .... please feel free to ask. Thank you OF for the space and thank you for looking.
Don't hesitate to send me a note with a reasonable offer or if you have any questions .... or want more photos.
Price Drop: Been away for a bit .. going to make a big drop in the price to $1575USD shipped to US or Canada.
