    Couldn't help you much, but is it much more expensive than this one? www.ebay.com/itm/360908358633Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    All those papers can't make that much difference even with the waterproof observatory. The one in Malaysia is in mint shape. They said it can be used for any Omega if you like.;)

    I think these were used for Omega Automatics, not for Constellations. AFAIK Constellations would have always come in a box marked as such.

    I can only guess, most likely not for those deluxe ones.

    You are correct, it is for the US market. Although I don't know where the box was actually made.

    Here is a general Omega ad from around 1956. Note that the watch shown in the box was a Globemaster (no-name Constellation):

    I think any Omega could have have been placed inside by the retailer.

    They were product in USA for local market, infact you would not find "Made in swiss" emboss on it. If i remember well omega didnt Made it nor been involved in design and colour choice.
