    I can't help, but did you check watchrecon.com and completed ebay auctions?

    Good morning,

    maybe I don't understand, but, if the constellation line was born in 1952, how is it that celebrated 150 years?

    150 years of what?


    Giuseppe.

    150yrs of omega. I had a quick look on the eve and there are a few other references to the watch around the place.

    I tried googling the reference, but only found one or two mentions of it, seems to be very uncommon. I'd probably value it at around the same as the Omega Dynamic Automatic, which can be had for roughly £300-400. But as it is so uncommon, it's anyone's guess how much (or how little) it'll end up at in an auction...

    I actually saw the same watch yesterday. Had a quick search and found it mentioned once or twice.
    Below is a link exhibiting a visit to the Omega museum. One of the pictures shows 2 of the Constellations in question.
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/visit-to-omega-museum-part-f-constellation-line.6585/

    Two different dial layouts on a limited run of 399. Looks like the same watch was listed at least twice, 2 years ago on the same site. Both listings had 2 different prices

    Not very subtle in stating it is an anniversary watch on the bezel...

    Each to their own, but this is fricking ugly.

    I recall this style of watch with the 'claws' to have been the height of fashion when they were released
    Oh how wrong can you be?
    And Omega continue to make butt ugly Constellations to this day
    Give me the original Constellation anytime....
    ( sorry OP)

    No worries [emoji3] I like it plus it represents a milestone for Omega.

    I've never seen one before and they obviously are quite rare-only 399 made according to the engraving. It doesn't make me want one, I just don't like the design, but if you like it and the price is low go for it. It is, after all, a hobby which should give pleasure and doesn't have to be an investment.
