    I'm in Lisbon, and was enamored by a special Portuguese edition, commemorating the poet and artist Jose Malhoa (1855-1933), of whom I know nothing, but Omega sure did make a gorgeous vintage Constellation-inspired watch for him. The better shots are on my Canon camera, but this is a quick iPhone shot. The markers and hands are a dark rose gold, and the strap is a matching brown croc on deployant. The price is in the mid-3s (Euros).

    I cannot believe I've been induced into saying this, but.... Lovely watch - hands are too long though.

    Maybe the wife is right and I do spend too much time here...

    Nice watch, wish the markers were a little less "heavy"

    There's a brickwork bracelet available for this model as well, they're occasionally listed loose on eBay for reasonable money. On the brick bracelet its a hell of a cool looking watch :)

    Too many would-be novelists are designing dials today. :rolleyes:

    I didn't buy it, but I tried it on a couple of times. I do like the Lange-like big numeral date with independently-turning digits. Very classy...

    Just managed to retrieve these few photos from my camera. Not so much better, but there is a good shot of the case back...

    By the way, I really think this is a sparkle dial (although it was hard to tell originally in the watch shop).

    not a fan of the date font at all, that's my only gripe
