I inherited an Omega watch that I know nothing about. It seems weird that the front says it’s a seamaster but the back emblem is a constellation emblem. I have yet to open the back but any help on Identifying this watches reference would be really helpful.

Looks like a gold capped constellation, with a partial redial.

Thanks. That’s what I was thinking the dial doesn’t match

It’s the original dial… just reprinted most likely from damage.

I think I’ve seen these dials on 18k hooded lugs Seamasters…

So it’s a Constellation but they reprinted seamaster.

Not necessarily a redial but possibly a transplanted Seamaster dial into a Constellation case.

I think the dial is original Omega, but not the dial that originally came with this case.

I’d be curious to know the caliber and serial number of the movement. That would give us more clues as to which parts are Constellation and which are Seamaster.

I stand corrected. I was not a fan of the spacing of the upper text, but it is a match to this one.

So that cal. 354 movement was used in both Seamasters and Constellations. However, the case shape looks more like a Constellation, so I will go with that. When the watch is serviced, have the watchmaker look behind the dial for a gold hallmark. It’s possible that this is a solid gold dial.

Not too shabby, even if it isn’t the correct dial for this case.

Thanks for the info. I’m guessing it’s a redial in a constellation watch

I think what everyone is saying is that it is a transplanted seamaster chronometer dial ( and movement) in a Constellation case.
(It may have been redialled - others can comment on that- but not from a Constellation dial)

I don’t think it’s a redial at all. Just an original dial (maybe even a solid gold one) in the wrong case.
