This is truly outstanding for any watch of this age and has been confirmed on our electronic watch timegrapher. The watch winds, sets and runs perfectly accurately and reliably and at the time of testing, immediately following its service, results were within +6 seconds per day. This means it has been completely disassembled to all its component parts, carefully inspected under high magnification, replacement where necessary with only genuine Omega parts before careful reassembly and adjustment and calibration. The movement is in tip-top condition having been overhauled and serviced by our vintage Omega specialist watchmaker. This movement is very highly regarded for its accuracy and reliability, making this watch perfectly suited for everyday use as well as evening wear. This means instead of continuously rotating the hands forward to set the required date, this can be advanced very quickly, one day at a time by pulling the crown.

The Omega Cal.562, 24 Jewel movement fitted to this watch was one of Omega’s most highly regarded and successful movements, remaining in production for almost 20 years. ![]() This is the original dial which has been restored by our dial restorers who are considered the best in the UK. The dial also carries the applied gold Omega brand and signature, with ‘Automatic’ and ‘Chronometer’ with ‘Constellation’ below and ‘Swiss Made’ below the ‘6’. The style is classic 1960s Omega and is perfect for both evening wear and regular everyday use. Furnished with gold ‘baton’ hour indices, inlaid with black onyx, and the original restored ‘Dauphine’ hands, it really catches the light beautifully and looks far better in real life than in the photographs. This is a classic Omega Constellation dial design which has become highly sought after in recent years, especially in as good a condition as this one is, and it isn’t difficult to see why. The beautiful original silver-white brushed dial is simply superb. This watch has just completed a full restoration by ourselves and is in pristine condition throughout. ![]() The 18ct yellow gold case measures 35mm, making this a large watch for its period.

When launched, and throughout the 1950s and ’60s, the Constellation was more prestigious and more expensive than the equivalent Rolex Oyster Perpetual and also contained a finer movement. The Omega Constellation is an iconic timepiece, having remained in continuous production since 1952 and one which has always represented Omega’s most luxurious precision chronometer timepiece. What’s more, in 1962, astronaut Wally Schirra took his Omega Speedmaster into space on NASA’s Mercury Sigma 7 mission and in 1969 two Speedmasters landed on the moon, worn by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Kennedy to Elvis wore Omega watches on official duties. The 1940s also saw the first tourbillon wristwatch and the first of the famous Seamaster watches, whilst the ’50s and ’60s introduced the legendary Constellation, Speedmaster, Seamaster 300 and Railmaster. Britain’s Royal Flying Corps chose Omega watches in 1917 as official timekeepers for its pilots and again in 1940, RAF Pilots watches were supplied by Omega. Since the company was founded in 1848, Omega has pioneered a huge range of innovations. ![]()
