How about a black hobnail dialed Constellation reference 2652 with a first generation OEM Omega BOR bracelet? One of only three known examples.

The flare conveniently hides the dial patina. And the hands are original 2852 Connie hands but belong to a lume dial, I wonder why they got changed.
Original Omega strap, bought for nothing at an auction house.

There is some light reflection from the lamp in the middle of the dial.

Put a loop on the markers and look for lume staining on the finish. Those are/were special order hands for a Factory Lume Pkg back in the day.

Round lume plots were placed on the markers and those hands substituted in place of the non-lumed hands.

Ref 6298, circa 1954, an uncommon 36mm reference from this era. Reportedly the same reference worn by Hillary (although not to the summit, famously).
