The Constellation is the Omega range topper, never more so than when it is in a 18k yellow gold case.  Model reference 196.1080.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1992.

CONDITION

This style of Constellation is called the Manhattan, and it was first launched in 1982.  Forty plus years later the styling clues such as the claws at 3 and 9 are still seen on the current range.  On the original models they held the sapphire crystal in place, and were actually inspired by a bathroom mirror!  The movement is a set and forget quartz by ETA, who supplied Omega with most of their movements at the time this watch was made.  It is all working correctly, and we will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The case is good, and has all the enamel in the Roman numerals.  A lot of Constellations of this period will be on a bracelet, but this model was always supplied on a leather band.  The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, and our Certificate of Authenticity.

This watch has been checked against the Watch Register and has not been reported as lost, stolen or implicated in fraud, and a copy of that certificate will also be included.
