I am unsure of date and desirability and possible worth?
I am informed it was serviced last year.
It definitely requires a good clean.
I have not removed back.
Appears to working very well.
So many thanks if anyone could give me some information and thoughts.
Thank you! .

Commonly known as a dome dialed constellation with dogleg lugs with a beads of rice bracelet.
Looks to be gold plated.
Dial has onyx inlay
Probably a 56# caliber movement

Thank you so much for your info!
Would it be worth my time putting it up for sale

What a Nice watch, i've been researching the vintage Constellation line for some months.
Since the plated looks good and you have original bracelet you might get around 1000 Bucks for it.

I do love watches and the hobby and do have a small collection but it consists of Seikos and Casios etc. would love a Speedmaster of course! .
Also have another Vintage Swiss Watch again from an inheritance! Will post a pic of it and see what you think? Thank you again!!

Wow!!!
Thank you so much!!
Really have no idea of cost!! But love the fact it is a Vintage Omega!! I personally would not wear a Gold watch! Prefer Silver / Stainless steel! And watches should be worn and enjoyed!

Nice watch - it appears to be gold capped. I’d agree with the other member who suggested a value of around $1000 USD, maybe a bit more.

It has been polished some indicated by the rounded lug edges and the stars on the observatory medallion. This will detract from value. Ebay fees will hurt you too. You may net $700- 800.
Gold cap is less desirable, but don't be afraid to wear it. Try it with a blue or green band for something different.

Will keep it and give it a good clean. It’s keeping great time.

Had no idea about polishing !
Brilliant idea about putting on a new trendy band!
Just lovely to have a real Omega that I can wear with pride !
Thanks again for your expertise!

The Omega on a black leather strap would look a lot different to the bracelet and you may wear it…selling a inherited watch can sometimes be a bad thing when your taste changes a bit when you get older 😉

@Seb Bluewater if you love watches, I would hang on to this one. Putting it on a strap is a good move. Gold watch on a gold bracelet is a bit much for many these days. I would consider a black band to go with the black on the hour markers. You can always get a few options to play with.

Thank you very much for your great advice!
I am definitely going to try and source a new band ! Black is my colour of choice in all my watches and jewellery!
Cheers for your advice!
