In Search of My Father's Omega Constellation

I haven't seen it in years, but, I do recall what it looked like... a gold bracelet, unusual shaped dial with the word Constellation written above a star (now I know it is called a pie pan dial), wide hands, large gold triangular markers and a date window.

I don't have the actual picture of my Dad's watch as we haven't been able to find it. But, I recall it looking like the image I have posted on this thread. Now, do the facts line up, my Dad was given the watch as a gift by his father in celebration of my Father's wedding to my Mother in the 1950s. Dad only wore the watch on dress occasions and I remember he kept it in a long slim watch box. After the 1980's my Dad didn't seem to wear the watch anymore. Dad favored sports watches and seldom put on a dress watch. I know he never sold the Constellation, it had too much sentimental value. My sisters and I just don't know where he put it for safe keeping. Dad was a child of the Great Depression, and didn't always trust banks, so he'd find unusual hiding places in the house, under the house, in the attic, in the garage, under a floor board. We are still looking... and if I find it I will definitely post.

I think I can safely speak for a number of fellow members in saying we wait with eager anticipation for pictures when you eventually discover your father’s watch.

the Connie pic you’ve posted is an uncommon dogleg/arrowhead combination from the early 60s, with the later ‘squared’ BOR bracelet, so unlikely to be like your father’s if it was a gift in the 50s.
However, there are a some earlier pie-pan/arrowhead/calendar references that would fit the bill.
If you haven’t already found his site, Desmond’s blog has loads of info on the different variations - try the section on dials.

Lol, I would have flipped that house upside down!

When did the beads of rice become an option? was it as early as the 50's?

According to Desmond, the 7-row (rounded beads) BOR appeared in Seamaster advertising around '57/'58

Thank you for your knowledge and link. I just hope we can find it and it’s not lost.

The pandemic has put a stop to our search, but we hope to begin soon.
