    Your going to get higher prices and better valuation from an aviation collector forum.

    One of those items which is insanely cool, but I have no idea what I'd do with it, if I had it.

    I guess it's only the pleasure to have it on a desk as it does not work without appropriate voltage...lol

    Exactly this! :)

    Do you have any idea what you'd like for it?

    I'd imagine there's not much market data given that it's not exactly a common thing.

    Ahh gotcha.

    I think as an Omega collector, you'd have to be a total completest to add one of these to your collection - it really is more of the type of thing you'd see in the museum at Biel/Bienne and think "that's cool", than something that most of us would go out of our way to buy.

    I think the highest value lies in it being a piece of the Concorde story, rather than the Omega one as @Foo2rama suggested.

    Absolute highest value would be at a specialist concorde/aviation auction... which I'm not sure is a thing.

    There's currently another one for sale on eBay for €34k - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232205338535?rmvSB=truePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    But as you say, it's ultimately a flashy paperweight with an interesting story, unless you're really into Concorde. ;)

    Honestly unless you can show others have sold and have a certificate that it was used on the concord and another certificate to say it's a flown piece. I would not make those claims.

    Plus does it work? That matters. Do you have the part history from the Concorde service database?

    Omega made a lot of cockpit clocks and cockpit timers for many different aircraft.

    Since you want to sell it via an auction, why do you need to guess at values? The auction result will tell you what the value is.

    I think it is cool, but would have a very narrow audience. Good luck with the sale, and I hope it nets you some $$$

    Did you look at the sellers name by any chance? ;)

    I've got to agree that the market for this lies with Concord collectors rather than Omega collectors.

    This is a semi guess but as there's nothing to really identify in as Omega on the face, the value to Omega collectors is small. Couple of hundred tops I would say?

    As they've said above it's more an aviation enthusiast item, if it were cheap and easy to get running on your desk an Omega watch collector may be interested as a novelty but in the price range you're talking it's aviation buffs that will be the buyers, a lot of really nice Omega clocks can be had quite affordably that most collectors would take before this unless the Concorde had a deep personal significance to them.

    In the spirit of adding positivity to OF, I was being... what's the word? Polite? ;)

    I'd just eaten a toasted teacake... so I feel pretty happy, but I'm not sure that being polite was the cause. ;)

    Fair Al. Fair. ;)

    My first thought as a watch enthusiast would be what else can I buy for 5 thousand euros? A nice watch, and for 34 thousand euros, a very nice watch......or I could buy a non working thingy that used to be stuck in a plane. Its a no brainer really. If I was into collecting bits of old planes, I might want this but as a watch collector I don t think it has the wow factor that would make me want to spend 5k in any currency. I think that plane part collectors are probably going to yeild a better return.

    Neat that does confirm it was on a Concord with the Avion Type TSS, as I highly doubt it was on the only other plane that had that type lol a Tupolev 144. I can't find which airframe it was on though.

    Well that explains that it does not work, as the note is "After power up the computer gmt stops functioning" My guess is the "clock part" is for GMT, the bottom is a timer for either flight, time at max speed due to friction heating. Oddly I looked at 2 different cockpit 360's one of the first plane and one of the last flying and I cannot find it. Not that it means much, as it should be located down and left of the left hand yoke.
