Re: Anyone recognize this?
In Response To: Anyone recognize this? ()

This watch looks an awfull lot like the Omega Constellation from the same period. (late 1960's, early 70's maybe). I have what looks to be an identical case shape on two of my Connie's, though i don't own any with day-date feature.

The fact that it is chronometer rated points to the very strong possibility this watch was produced no earlier than 1967 and utilizes the Omega cal.751 movement. This was the 1st year this chronometer day-date movement was used, and i suspect this watch was ordered this way or Omega had a backlog of seamaster cases and made use of them by putting the higher grade movement in in it.

Either way the movement is a good one, and deserves an overhaul should you start to wear it regularly. Enjoy!!!!1
