Hi,

I am absolutely new to vintage watches.

Can someone help me find out if the watch is real?

Unfortunately there is no photo of the movement.

Thank you in advance.

 

This is not vintage, it is a quartz movement Connie from within that past 10-15 years and you are therefore asking in the wrong place. The only major issue I can see is the missing caseback screw which means it is probably no longer water resistant. I wont swear to it being genuine as modern Connies are outside my province but there is no major tell if it is fake to my eye at least.

 

This should be more than enough

 

Oh, thanks a lot. You may notice that I am new to this.

 

What do you mean?

 

Font of the dial doesn't match original font from this model. Looks like somebody used a sharpie.

 

In other words: Run away......

 

Can you find us a comparison photo? I agree the text looks a little thick and clumsy but I have handled an original of these and I am not convinced the font is wrong. I wouldn't dismiss that based on one slightly out of focus photo. Don't forget, this is not a 1960s model so all that knowledge doesn't really apply, these just aren't as nice as the classic models.

 

There is no way this watch left the factory with that sloppy print. This isn't expected on a modern watch, I could understand if its vintage Connie, but not a modern one. Also, I've never seen Constellation from this era with applied script and logo.

 

For me the Omega lettering looks suspicious. There is a big gap between the G and the A.

 

The dial looks fake to me and the laser engraving on the clasp looks cheap.

Also the Roman numerals engravings on the bezel are very off.

 

The observatory engraving looks like Bezos' Blue Origin rocket.

 

I’m no expert on these more modern connies (nor am I an expert on vintage ones but I’ve owned a fair few, including redials) but the Constellation text looks all wrong to me. Given it’s quartz, not in great condition and suspect (to me), I’d leave it alone. Others may correct me.

 

A photo of a quartz Constellation from around 1996 for comparison. The font definitely looks off on the OP's watch
