·Hi all,
Hoping to get a little help in identifying my old mans watches.
The first is an Omega Constellation with a Square Face (Is this also referred to as a TV Cony?). Think it was bought in the late 70’s down in London, but don’t have any other information.
Had it serviced recently and Omega (or their service centre) asked if they could keep hold of it (for spares as they said some of the working parts are hard to come by. Not sure if this has been heard of before?) but for obvious reasons I declined. At the time really should have asked for more information but just didn’t think.
My question is, does anyone know the exact model? Think it may be a 368.0852, but not too sure, and can anyone confirm if it is a ‘brickwork’ bracelet?
Inside the clasp of the Constellation it says:
‘Gold Plated L 20 Microns
And Stainless Steel’
‘No 12’ in an oval and the numbers 1155/146
And the Omega brand.
Assumed the second is also from the late 70’s and purchased in London, however, in this case I honestly wouldn’t know.
This is an Omega Seamaster (Automatic not chronograph) with a rice band strap, but it doesn’t have the cross on the glass. Is it a 166.010? It seems to tick but it’s not possible to change the date or time. I will get it serviced but getting the Constellation running was more important. Once in working order would it be wrong to fix the watch to a NATO strap?
Both watches also have the omega symbol on the crown but these were very difficult to get a good picture, and the crown of the Constellation is a replacement anyway.
Inside the clasp of the Seamaster it says:
‘Gold Plated L 20 Microns
And Stainless Steel’
‘No 12’ in an oval and the numbers 1037
And the Omega brand.
As I don’t really have the tools or confidence to remove the backs I haven’t included any pictures of the working parts but could easily drop them in to a jewellers if need be.
I’m also trying to obtain copies of the original manuals or advice for care.
Finally, I am right in thinking neither of these watches use the George Daniels coaxial escapement?
If you need any further information please let me know.
