Hello!
I recently bought an Omega Constellation and I would like to know if everything is in order and if it came from the factory like this.

Thank you very much for your help

It all looks original, but the condition is not as it left the factory.

Well it didn't come with that blistering no but otherwise it looks pretty original. Funnily enough I have the no date version of that from the same year, and mine is blistered also...
Thanks ,the cover on the inside, I don't know if it matches the caliber numbering: 14393 10SC

Yes, lol. For me it's better with the bubbles.

I binned my earlier reply since I realised while I do have a similar model with the same dial from the same year, mine is in a capped case model and isn't in fact blistered (that is another I have) but I see nothing out of place here other than the blistering which some will find less appealing than you it must be said. I've seen worse though. The 561 movement will be correct for the year, ~1960. Why do you think it might not be? This is too early for the 564.

I have doubts about whether the case number 14393 10SC is correct for a caliber 176XXX... the higher the serial number, the higher the caliber number?
Thank

The caliber number is 561. 17.6M is the serial number. I don't understand your question, but the watch looks fine.

I assume the 61 SC series will have a larger caliber series than a 10C.
Is a 176XXX serial number on a 14393 10C case correct?

The case number, caliber and serial all align to 1960ish.

Here is the OVDB of the solid gold version, identical to your except for the case metal.

As far as I know, people have not archived detailed information about the production runs of individual references.

could be the angle of the photos, but it appears the seconds hand is maybe extending slightly beyond the minute markers, which would be incorrect for this reference. but perhaps it’s an optical illusion and will defer to others in case I’m mistaken @Dan S

@Jorgehernando

I think the confusion here is in the understanding of the ‘series’ numbers in the case back.

For reasons only known to them, Omega changed their additional ‘series’ case back reference numbers.

The ‘10’ refers, sequentially, to the 10th in a series of that reference of a watch whereas ‘61’ refers to the year of first production of that iteration of the reference.

Of course, just to confuse things further, a short while later Omega changed their reference numbering system altogether.

Podría ser el ángulo de las fotos, pero parece que el segundero se extiende un poco más allá de los marcadores de minutos, lo que sería incorrecto para esta referencia. Pero tal vez sea una ilusión óptica y lo dejaré en manos de otros en caso de que me equivoque @Dan S
Ahora el reloj está en servicio, cuando llegue lo revisaré, pero creo que excede un poco los índices.
Thanks

Thank you, very interesting. Omega's cases references are a torture.

The watch is now in service, I will check it when it arrives, but I think it is a bit over the mark.
Thanks
