Omega Constellation 18K Gold Pie Pan Fake or Real

Gomes27 · Aug 7, 2025

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying this watch that's for sale, but I don't know if it's a fake.
Normally, Pie-Pan watches from that era have “officially certified” written on the dial. It's not there.
What do you think of the photos?

Thank you for your help.

Based on that blurry picture I'd say the watch is likely fine, but I'd certainly want better pictures before being 100%.

The dial has correct text. These 14381/2 and 14393/4 Constellations miss "Officially Certified"

Also this dial type is known as dome and not piepan

+1 to what @cristos71 says

the 14393 (or 14394 Deluxe if it has a gold dial) - uncommonly had the word 'calendar' added to the text.

But I would want much better pics before putting any money down.

What is the asking price for the watch?

Was the 561 caliber also used in “dome” watches?

If all checks out - that would a very good price for this watch - almost too good - press hard to get more and better pics.
front, back and sides

Taking out some of the hyperbole in the description it looks like a nice example at an attractive asking price.

yes

Here are some more photos, but they're still blurry...

Thank you for your help !

The pics still aren't great but they appear to show:
wide flat onyx inserts that should appear on a gold-dialled deluxe
that the facets on the lugs are substantially there
the bezel is well defined
the medallion is in pretty good condition

without better in-focus pics you will still be taking something of a risk.

So, make sure that you can trust the seller - i.e. that they actually have the watch and you're not going to receive a brick in the post
-because (especially in the current gold market) the price isn't rediculaoulsy cheap but is verging onto too good to be true territory.

If it all pans out, you will have got yourself a bit of a bargain and a very nice watch

I'd like to see the box it comes with too. There are boxes and then there are Constellation boxes...
