I have been a reader for many years and I am writing for the first time ...

love watches, I'm not a collector and I wear what I like. I trade a lot because it's one of the ways I try and wear something I probably wouldn't otherwise.
it’s always easy to trade an old 60s seamaster in good condition. simply, old omegas have a soul ...

I recently "picked up" these two omegas. and I just can't find any more information on the web that I wish. I would like to know if these are collector's models or just rar ... in my opinion, if something is rare, it doesn't have to be a collector's thing right away.

Omega Constellation f300Hz ref. 198.0022

as far as i know there are 3 models, silver and blue dial and gold case. and that the years of production are 72/73

Omega Constellation 155.0014

I find this reference, different models, inside is cal 711. but I can't come across a story with hobnail dial.

I would be glad to know something more ... even when they are no longer with me to know the story behind them, if there is one.

I wouldn't say they are highly collectable or 'rare' per se, but they are very cool especially the first one.

I have an F300 and a quartz in my collection and enjoy them both very much and I certainly find the hobnail 198.0022 with its coin edge bezel very attractive indeed.

How many mm?
