CONDITION
If you like pedigree with your quality, then look no further. Omega’s long history of both is fully understood. This type of case is known as a C case (C for Constellation, named after this watch), but we did not realise that the design was that of the legendary Gerald Genta, designer of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Universal Geneve Polerouter, Patek Philippe Nautilus and Cartier Pasha to name just a few. Inside the case is an Omega Calibre 751, which was chronometer rated. (A chronometer is a very high standard of timekeeper, and today would be known as COSC.) This is running sweetly, apart from the quickset date which is not working. The dial is a linen crosshatch design that glimmers in the light. It is original, but their is a smudge on the words under the Omega logo. Otherwise it is clean. The case is good, as is the 18k white gold bezel, and there is an Omega branded strap and buckle fitted. The day window is in English only.
This watch will be supplied with a presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
