Hi everyone!

I just realised that the crown on my omega constellation is a bit “loose” in its normal position. There’s no issue winding or changing time&date, but it wobbles a bit when I’m holding the crown.

I’m not sure if it’s an issue or not, so thanks for your help!

Is the case tube still intact?
Is the crown seal still functional?
Is the crown properly connected to the stem?
What are those marks on the case surrounding the crown from?

From the description above it seems that the crown it's not properly connected to the stem. Anyway you should go to an watchmaker to fix your problem.

Could be the wrong crown. Case tubes usually 1.5 or 2 mm. Yours could be 1.5 mm with a crown that uses a 2 mm tube

Could also be the crown tube wobbles. However. If the crown is pressed in and it wobbles. I would think the wrong crown for the case tube.

Would need to check tube diameter

Looks like the right crown, nice Türler edition, I have an under the star Türler as well, pretty rare, nice to see another one

Those scratch marks near the crown are alarming, I suspect there is no tube at all on the case

If you can safely open the caseback, I think a close up shot from the movement's steam area will definitely give the answer
