Hello everyone.
I want to share another one in my collection.
This one was omega constellation ref. 2852-5, serial number 16,xxx,xxx (around 1958) with caliber 505 with uncommon dial, original crystal and original crown too.

Dial: Beautifully original piepan style with original crosshair and arabic 3-6-9-12 markings
Hands: Original hands (missing some patina in hour hand)
Caliber: Original cal.505 and quite clean.
Crystal: Original (Omega symbol visible in the center)
Case: Watch case was quite sharp with corner of the case are still in great shape (little polished in my opinion).
Caseback: sign of wearing with missing contour of some star.

I try to find another omega ref.2852 with original black piepan with arabic 3-6-9-12 markings in internet and also in this forum, however, I can't find much example even in this topic ("Show me your 2852 Connie").

By the way, when i asked @cristos71 then he showed me the nice example that look identical with me.
Here's his watch:


In my opinion it's difficult to take a photo (in black Connie) without reflection.
(i'll try my best, haha).

My wrist shot:


Thanks for watching. Please tell me your opinion on my watch.
Thanks for advice and comment from @cristos71 ,@hoipolloi , @Dr No , @Peemacgee and others.

Hey, nice piece! I reckon it would also look great on a brown strap too 🥰

Thanks for sharing! Wishing you a great day.
