    Up for grabs is a very nice Omega stainless steel Constellation chronometer 167.005 cal. 551 from 1963. This is a beautiful example; I believe everything to be original with the exception of the signed replacement crown. The dial is stunning and very clean, the little mark over the 8:00 marker in the first or second photo is just residual polywatch that was on the crystal when I took the picture. The case is in good shape with its original bevels on the lugs, the watch overall has small dings and scratches commensurate with its age. The caliber 551 automatic movement keeps time, but I do not know the service history. I recommend that you have it serviced if you plan to wear the watch regularly. The watch comes on the pictured black leather strap.

    The Constellation is priced at $775 US net to me; CONUS shipping is included via FedEx 2-day with ParcelPro. International shipping is also via FedEx at cost less $30. Payment via paypal (if you have references), bank wire or Chase Quickpay. My references are in the seller section or OF or of course available upon request. The watch is located in Chicago, but I am headed to Hershey, PA for the AACA car show on Wednesday morning if you happen to live in that direction.

    Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions or need additional pictures. :thumbsup:

    Forgive me for asking is the dial original? What made me ask is the way O and M appears in automatic and chronometer. I am not disrespecting your watch, I am relatively new to this it is just an observation. I hope I am wrong.

    I think what you are seeing is just the pictures. I believe it original and bought it from a respected forum mod. Would welcome other opinions obviously

    +1 -distortion caused by the crystal I reckon
