Hi,

I received an Omega Constellation as heritage of my grandfather. But I don't know any reference or model.
Could you guys help me with this?

Thanks.

Ps.: Sorry my poor english!

 

Have a watchmaker take the back off, there one shall find what you seek. Take pix and post here for further assistance.

I do see signs of pre-existing issues with the dial, so additional, MACRO pix of it would help us help you.

It also may have a had a run or two with a polishing wheel.

You have something very special and a gf with great taste.

 

Thanks!

I'll try to open it and see more reference numbers.

By the way, is this a male of female model?

 

I would guess it’s a well worn/polished 14381/82 with ‘officially certified’ on the dial.
The back needs to come off as per @TexOmega to be sure though.

 

It’s a gents version. Be careful when opening you could damage the caseback. Better to get a watchmaker to do this if you do not have the correct tools.

 

I need to do this, but in Brazil I am afraid to take it to the watchmaker. I can be robbed on my way to the store

 

What about the age of this watch?
What does the "Officially Certified" means?

 

I'm sorry you have to live with that fear.
Don't open it with a screwdriver and pliers please. Without opening it we can't say with certainty, but it is probably from around 1957. It is probably called a constellation deluxe. It was "Officially Certified" at the time by a Swiss timekeeping organization for keeping really good time.

It means that the chronometer authorities in Switzerland and in early watches England certified it as chronometer.
As already stated get someone qualified to open the back and get good clear pictures of the inside of the case back, the movement and take note of the movement number and calibre. Also good, clear pictures of the dial.
Good luck.

 

Thanks everybody!!!!
Really appreciate your time answering my questions!

I'll do this and will comeback to add more information.

 

Intriguing watch.
Slanty M and straight M but chronometer spelled the English way.
Will be interesting to see what’s inside.
A nice memory of your grandfather

 

One last question!
How much does a well functioning watch like this model costs?

[EDIT]
Look like this one!
But the bracelet is different, and there is no "Swiss Made" above the bottom.

Love the sellers description: The case is in very nice condition with some light superficial scratches but hardly worth noting".
