A Rare and Very Collectable Oversized Omega Constellation (Model Ref: 153.042) in 18k Gold with an Oversized Tank Case and 18k Gold Textured Dial 

The Omega Constellation is a revered collection of luxury timepieces that epitomizes elegance, precision, and sophistication. Since its introduction in 1952, the Constellation has become an iconic symbol of Omega's commitment to excellence in watchmaking. 

What’s On Offer

The distinctive design elements of the Constellation set it apart and this piece is a wonderful example of this. The tank case is unusual in itself,  but the oversized dimensions and 18k gold really set this watch apart. For a vintage watch, it has a huge presence on the wrist and is beautifully eye-catching.  The dial is simply stunning, the hobnail texture is exquisite, so much so that the dial needs little more than the quarter markers, Omega signature and stylish ultra-slim hands. The watch is completed by a beautiful cabochon crown. In wonderful vintage condition, this watch really is a head-turner and we have struggled to find other examples for sale in such superb shape, as such we believe it is rather rare and very collectable, besides being utterly beautiful! We have paired this watch with a textured brown leather strap that brings out the warmth of the gold, a classic pairing and a watch that will bring much joy to the wearer for years to come.
