Firstly im new to Forums so please excuse if i dont get it right!
I have been trying to find the model number or Name of this watch.
And any info about it. Ive searched multiple websites /watchfinders etc, but cannot find another matching this watch. As you can see it has date and day, and 2 jewels per hour which seems to be quite rare for an Omega. Any help at all welcome.
Thanks.. Chris

 

You can't find a match because its a fake! A bad one at that.

 

Don't be so quick with that.

What are the numbers inside the back and do you have an outside shot of the case back?

 

Hi, the numbers are hard to read.. But i think its 496106.9.1

 

Did they make these with day of the week and date on the sub dials Norman?

 

Omega Constellation Manhattan?

 

Yes, caliber 1444 (ETA 255/471), used from the early/mid 1980s.

Lots of variations on these, dials, bezels, case makers.

 

Here's a picture of this type of Omega Constellation

Movemennt looks so much higher quality here.

I still think its fake...of course just my opinion though.

 

That's a later watch with a completely different movement.

 

I'm afarid, yes. Quartz only.

1990 brochure and dealer's catalog :



and 1995 dealer's catalog :

 

H..........O............L.............Y CRAP! My first instinct was also fakety fake fake fake. You are correct. I have a book from 1990, too. It's in there. Definitely not one of Omega's better years.

 

Google Omega 1444 or Omega Manhattan.

I can see why you went for the fake call, but it is genuine, even with all of the crap on the case and dial.

 

They really up the Constellation didn't they

 

Man, that's one ugly mother jumper.

 

Wow! Really impressed with the detective work here! I definitely came to the right place!
And yes... I dont think id wear it either!
Il have a little look after work tonight on this info.
Thanks all! Chris
