Omega Constellation Pie Pan Dial with “Alcan” Back case

1. More pictures are needed, especially of the dial, movement and inside of the caseback.

2. Alcan gave out a lot of watches, most were higher end models that were originally produced with gold medallions, that could be replaced with aluminum Alcan branded ones. I own an Eterna Centenaire with the same medallion.

One of these watches was not sold on this forum a long time ago.

I have my father's Alcan watch, given to him in 1972 after 25 years service. It is a Constellation in a monocoque 168.015 case. I restored it about 2 years ago. He worked in Montreal and Kingston.

Nice! How much did you paid for the service?

I did the service myself, and I am retired, so I guess my time is free.

Overall it looks like a clean pie pan example. To my eye, everything looks original. I can’t comment on the case back though. The scratches on the crystal can be polished out. And the case looks unpolished, judging from the sharp dog leg lugs.

However, without a picture of the movement, I would not consider it a steal. If you can get down to around 80% of the price, then it would be more attractive.
