For sale very first Omega Constellation 2648, stainless steel case, caliber 352, deluxe execution chronometer grade movement. ( rare " Fabriqué en Suisse " engraved in the movement) Found this watch as you can see in the pictures, and I will not make a long description about the watch condition and how scarce is found one in decent conditions . The dial has a beautiful patina, spot and marks, is the original factory dial, and considering that macro pictures always show what the naked eyes can't see in a first impression, the condition of the dial is very good with an attractive aging. I make several pictures from all the watch, but I can only explain with words the feel of a high grade movement, bumper on your wrist, with the original look of the first design and conception of all the Constellation models..in stainless steel case combined with rose gold hands and hours markers, an extremely nice and awesome combination. Omega start the production of the Constellation in 1952. Most of the 2648 Constellation where made in Gold, like the Omega Centenary, they make the first batch of 2648 in 18 K solid gold, and few units in stainless steel. ( with caliber 352 RG) I believe that this combination; 2648 SS case and 352 RG movement was settled for a short period and few units went to the market. If Seamaster 352 RG models are rare, this Constellation is even more. Omega replace the same year, case 2648 for 2652 case, because this last one was waterproof . 2652 case was available till 1957. The period was so short, that I saw 2652 cases with 352 RG movement with 12.48 M serial number. Difference in prices for the same 2648 case with 354 movement are substantial, as you can see in the last pictures, and difference between Gold and stainless steel cases is only 20%. A solid 18 K gold 2648 case, honeycomb dial ( not in perfect condition) was sold by auction for 5.385 € ( November 2009 ) In 1951 Omega as a first brand / in-house movements, own the same reputations as a Rolex, not considering that the 30 mm series, in 1951, set a new record of accuracy, beating the Omega record from 1947 of 834,9 points to 867,7. All the other Swiss first brands participate in the same contest.....both years. My watchmaker check the movement, was extremely clean and lubricated, so he only make a surface service and check accuracy, who was excellent. Watch come with a high end, real croco dark brown leather strap an Omega vintage red box included. I ask 1550 € Pay Pal , shipping cost included and Pay Pal. Watch is located in Barcelona. Thank you for your time.
