·When I first saw this, I want to call this a redial:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintag...756?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a120221c
because I've never seen a Constellation with a plank dial? My initial feeling was that this was something entirely different, and then a 2648 caseback was put on it, and then "constellation" and the star added to the dial.
But then, just as I was writing this, I found:
where else, but @mondodec website!
As Desmond points out:
The very first examples of the Omega Constellation 2648 to come off the production line in 1952 are believed to have been 18 karat gold cased models with slightly grained silvered dials, upon which a ‘cartouche’ appeared with a printed Omega logo. This dial design was also used in some Seamaster 2520 chronometer models. However the life span of the dial design was very short in both lines, and was soon replaced with domed ivory and guilloche dials.
