Many members are looking for a black dial connie For your perusal http://www.clockmaker.com.au/w/k5509.html And a newsletter write up The pinnacle of your collection Here we have the kind of watch normally only found in the absolute finest and best London dealerships. If you’ve ever wondered what serious collectors buy – this is it. They don’t care about the cost; it’s all about the condition. The Omega Constellation from 1961 we have here is in exceptional condition; perfect case, perfect movement, perfect bracelet, perfect dial and hands. It really is 10/10 for a vintage watch. We’ll see a watch like this once a year, if we’re lucky. This isn’t even the stuff that appears in auctions; this is the stuff that Sotheby’s wants. Looking through the Omega bible (Omega – A Journey Through Time), they only have the white gold version listed, but ours is exactly the same but in stainless steel. Trying to research this watch online shows just how rare and sought after it is – there is hardly any information on it apart from fans discussing the model on forums. Omega Constellation watches have been a symbol of luxury and prestige since the 1950s. They are synonymous with the art of horology, by combining a high-performance movement with an elegant and refined design. Originally created to celebrate Omega's first centenary in 1948, called the Centenary, they were not intended for continued production. However, they were so popular among the world's horology fans that the Constellation collection was produced. So whether you’re an Omega collector, a vintage watch collector, or someone who appreciates impeccably kept pieces of history, this is a no-brainer. You simply have to have this watch.

The black dial non-date ones are significantly less common than the date ones - but only if the dial is not a refinish which this watch is. Here is one of mine:
