FOR SALE IS A BADASS 1968 OMEGA 168.017 CONSTELLATION CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED WITH ORIGINAL SIGNED EVERYTHING.
-
CASE: C-SHAPED SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING IN AT 35mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 41mm LUG TO LUG. REALLY GREAT CONDITION ON THIS ONE MAINTAINING ALL ITS ORIGINAL FINISHES WITH MINOR SCRATCHES THROUGHOUT. THE UNPOLISHED CASEBACK SHOWCASES THAT MOST EXCELLENT OMEGA OBSERVATION CHRONOMETRE GRAPHIC. THIS ONE WEARS BIGGER THAN 35mm DUE TO THAT SUPER THIN BEZEL AND WIDER DIAL.
-
DIAL: THIS SILVER DIAL HAS SOME EXCELLENT PATINA AND TONING WHICH REALLY GIVES THIS SOME WARM VINTAGE VIBES. REALLY COOL CONTRAST WITH THOSE APPLIED ONYX MARKERS WHICH LOOK FABULOUS WITH THOSE THIN BLACK HANDS. I LOVE THE CLASSY OMEGA TOUCHES FROM THAT APPLIED STAR LOGO TO THE ELEGANTLY FRAMED DATE WINDOW AT 3. ALL VIEWED UNDER THE ORIGINAL OMEGA SIGNED CRYSTAL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS CONNIE RUNS ON A CLEAN IN-HOUSE CHRONOMETER GRADE 24J OMEGA CAL.564 AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN KEEPING GOOD TIME AND WINDING EFFORTLESSLY. QUICKSET IS ACHIEVED BY PULLING OUT THE CROWN TO ADVANCE THE DATE. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THERE ARE SOME SERVICE MARKS ON THE INSIDE CASEBACK.
THIS OMEGA COMES ON ITS ORIGINAL OMEGA REF 1040 BRICK BRACELET IN GREAT CONDITION CURRENTLY SIZED FOR MY 6.75" WRIST WITH AN ADDITIONAL 6 MICRO-ADJUSTS. THIS IS THE KIND OF VINTAGE WATCH YOU WANNA SLAP ON WITH SOME SWEAT PANTS AND PONCHO. IT JUST HAS THAT CASUAL FEEL, BUT HAS THE GRAVITAS OF A MUTHA-FUCKIN' CONSTELLATION......IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THIS REMINDS ME OF THE KIND OF WATCH MY BRAWLER AUTOBODY MECHANIC GRANDFATHER WOULD HAVE SPORTED......MADE TO BE WORN AND ABUSED YET MAINTAINS ITS CLASS AND COMPOSURE, NO MATTER WHAT.
