MINTY~70s FUNKY OMEGA CONSTELLATION CHRONOMETER 168.0063

Regular price $0.69 Sale

FOR SALE IS A CHUNKY AND FUNKY 70s OMEGA CONSTELLATION CHRONOMETER REFERENCE 168.0063 DAY/DATE AUTOMATIC WITH GRADIENT DIAL.

 

CASE: FUNKY TV SHAPED  ALL-STEEL CASE MEASURING A HEALTHY 38mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN. THIS CASE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH AND SHARP LINES. SOME COOL FACETED MACHINE WORK ON THIS GUY. SUCH A BEAUTY. 

 

DIAL: THIS TV DIAL IS A SLOW BURN. CHECK OUT THAT HORIZONTALLY BRUSHED GRADIENT BRONZE BROWN METALLIC FINISH WHICH IS REALLY WELL EXECUTED. I LOVE THOSE APPLIED STEEL MARKERS AND THOSE CLASSY DAGGGER STYLE HANDS. LUME IS REALLY WELL PRESERVED ON THIS ONE WITH ALL THE PLOTS BEING FULLY INTACT AND MATCHING WELL WITH THE TRITIUM ON THE HANDS.  THE GERMAN DATE WHEEL IS A NICE TOUCH.

 

MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON ONE OF OMEGA'S LAST IN-HOUSE MOVEMENTS BEFORE THEY STARTED TO SOURCE THEM OUT: THE CAL. 1021. THIS IS A HIGH-BEAT 28800 AUTOMATIC. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THIS ONE IS A STRONG RUNNER AND KEEPING GOOD TIME.

 

WATCH COMES MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL OMEGA 1235/226 STEEL BRACELET WHICH IS A PIECE OF ART IN ITS OWN RIGHT. THIS CAN FIT FROM A 6 3/4" WRIST ALL THE WAY TO A SMIDGE OVER 8" WITH A FEW REMOVEABLE LINKS TO SIZE DOWN FURTHER.  THIS ONE IS A BLAST TO WEAR WITH ITS CHUNKY PROPORTIONS AND THAT ABSOLUTELY DAZZLING DIAL. NOT ONE OF THE MORE WELL-KNOWN CONSTELLATION MODELS, BUT DEFINITELY A FORMIDABLE PIECE WHICH GIVES OFF SOME SUBTLE VINTAGE ROYAL OAK/NAUTILUS VIBES A-LA OMEGA.
