Found my Dad's Constellation . . .

My Dad, who was 94 y.o., and worked as a NASA engineer for 35 years at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, passed away peacefully 10 days ago.

We are beginning to look through his things now. I knew he had worn an Omega every day while at NASA but he had told me he lost it after he retired 30 years ago. Well, seems I just found it tonight.

From what I just researched quickly it is apparently a Day / Date Constellatiion, linen dial, stainless case with a gold capped face and a 14k gold bezel, ref. 168.029 with Cal. 751. Probably 1969 or 1970 vintage, which would coincide with the first moon landings, which he worked on.

Its appears to be in very good condition for its age . . . . original crystal, crown, and case back is nice. Some scratches but not terrible. I set the date and time and shook it and it is keeping perfect time. I know it has been sitting for decades.

Do not think I am going to service or polish it up yet. Time to find a nice band !!

THANKS for all the condolences and advice. Very nice forum.
I've got a lot to do in his house ( including selling it ) before I get to this watch, but I will
service it and wear it eventually.

Here are two better pictures from this morning in my home, with better lighting . . . the ones I posted were in his dark bedroom.

Thanks again.
