    Hey guys, I am new here. My name is Fernando and I am from Brazil.
    I just got this Omega Constellation from my 93 years old uncle!
    As I don´t know anything about it, I wonder if you guys got info on it.
    He bought it new a long time ago.

    I want to know if it is a desirable model, if its dial is something special? I couldn´t find one like this on my searches on the net.

    If you can give me a range of what it is worth I will appreciate.

    Thanks in advance.
    Fernando

    I'm no expert, but it looks very nice, original, and definitely desirable!

    Reference 2852 with a calibre 505 Chronometer movement.

    The case is steel with a gold top. A layer of gold fused to the steel and much thicker than gold plate. The condition of your case is good. The medallion on the back is nice and sharp.

    The dial is commonly known in these parts as a two tone dome waffle, yours has arrow markers which makes it particularly attractive. These dial types are very much saught after by collectors and yours is in very good shape.

    Your movement looks to have some rotor issues as can be seen by the wear on the automatic winding rotor. A service by a watchmaker with experience and sympathy to vintage watches/Omega is recommended.

    Value as is I would put around $1600-1700
