I spent years hunting for a gold 7077 to put on my 2852 Deluxe, and now that I’ve finally got it… I feel like Keats’s stout Cortez. Photographs real nice, though.

Well, that’s me told. Doesn’t help that the boys in Bienne stamped the caseback with 2852 and 2853!

2852 2853 is the same case, it's the dial that gives the differention between references. 2853 always have a solid gold Deluxe dial

No Lume dial. it doesn’t get much wrist time but when it’s time it sure is cherished.

Hello everyone! My first Omega and my first post! Delighted to be here 😀
168.004, 561, gold cap, stainless steel...dated probably 1962. Just got it from Chrono24. Works great and in very good condition! Only thing (at first glance) that is off is a non-original crown which I was aware prior to buying😀 Gonna take it to a certified Omega service on Monday for a check.

Welcome @Srdo
Good choice of Constellation - congratulations.
1962 is the year this reference was officially released - if you have the movt serial number you can get an approximate timeframe for the production date.

Thanks!
I'll have all the info about the watch after the service, including the serial number. Reall happy about it so far!
