    Very nice all steel 1954 Cal 501 Omega Constellation 2852 with a creamish silver dial, crosshairs and arrowhead markers.

    This is my favourite dial combination for these steel 2852 variants and with its light vintage patina it looks very attractive on the wrist.

    I have just had fitted (at great expense!) some OEM dauphine hands as when I bought this piece the hands were not correct. My watchmaker when fitting the hands also very carefully, and I believe with birch wood, hand polished the arrow head markers.

    The cal 501 with a 14 million serial is dating to around 1954. It is running and keeping time, although I have no service history for it while it has been with me which is a year or so.

    The case is in great shape, edges and bezel are still well defined as is the gold medallion.

    Fitted to an olive green almost new canvas strap which matches perfectly.

    €1050 net to me will be including Track and Trace international postage.
