    Hello.
    Friend of mine got this 35 mm size Constellation, and left it to me to investigate it. It looks legit to me, but i don`t know anything about old quartz Omegas. Is it worth of something, it is working like it should, and is very accurate.
    Thanks in advance, Tapio

    I'm no expert and couldn't verify real or fake but I'm guessing real. I do like the dial though it's a nice interesting colour. Value wise if it's real won't be a lot I'm afraid £200 or £300 maybe.
    Ok let the experts chime in and blast me out of the water with their infinite wisdom.

    That's such a beauty, i'm in love with the sparkly dial, I posted a similar one in a gold dial yesterday. [​IMG]

    Well, it is an authentic Omega time keeping instrument worn on the wrist. I know one thing for sure - it has a battery. Therefore, I don't know how it can be a "chronometer" because the term "chronometer" is for watches, and watches don't have battery powered IC chips in them. Watches are horology, not technology. ;)

    I read up a bit on this movement after jsinghdreams posted yesterday, and it seems pretty well regarded... except by squirrels. Apparently, the crown only sets the hour hand, while the quick set button on the case hacks the minutes and seconds. COSC average daily rate spec is +- 0.07 spd.

    We should have a "If it has a battery it's not a real watch" smiley. It would save a TON of time, and people like me wouldn't get tired of reading that same old statement over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
