The Pie Pan Constellation was an Omega favourite from the 1960’s and this was their modern Seamaster reinterpretation of that model.  Reference 396.0232

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Normally with Omega watches the movement has a serial number and we can accurately date this watch by this.  However, on this example the small disc holding the serial number is missing (this isn’t uncommon, sadly).  However, we have had one of these watches before and that was from 1979, so it is safe to assume this watch was made either in 1979 or very close to it.

CONDITION

The watch is overall good condition, with a few signs of wear.  The bi metal bracelet is good, and a good length, but we would be tempted to remove this and wear this watch on a black leather strap (see photos).  That would compliment the black pie pan dial (nicknamed pie pan because of the scalloped edges on the dial if you were unsure).  We have cleaned the bracelet in our ultrasonic bath, and we also replaced the glass and it will also have a new battery before being sent out.  The calibre 1342 movement is working well, and that includes the unusual setting button set within the crown – the instructions can be found here.

This watch will be supplied with our Certificate of Authenticity.
