Wow, excellent example. Seems like it hasn't seen a day of use. Pretty uncommon with an 'Elvis' markings on a deluxe too.

Just a stab in the dark here - the Omega Constellation that supposedly belonged to Elvis had a crosshair dial.

@Anj There's no real proof it was ever Elvis' watch, and that type of dial marking has long been referred to as crosshairs, so let's avoid introducing a misnomer into Omega jargon, capisce?

IIRC - the Connie attributed to Elvis was a pink, gold capped, black cross-hair dome dial with gilt script and lumed indices and hands
-so the only similarity to the OP's (wonderful) watch would be the cross-hair

and whilst I get why some Speedies are named after men that performed great and daring deeds, +1 on not bringing celebrity names to Connies - they simply don't need it

(hopefully, Elvis has left the building.....)
