This version of the Constellation also features a date complication with the classic date aperture at the 3 o'clock position. What makes this watch a real gem besides the sentimental value, is that this a Genuine Omega Officially Certified Chronometer which is the highest testament of accuracy in an automatic mechanical movement watch.
The automatic movement in this watch is a Swiss-made Omega 24 jewel caliber adjusted to 5 positions and temperatures. The serial number indicates that this watch was made in 1967. The watch measures 44 x 34 mm not including the crown. The crown also features the well-known Omega logo.
The back of the case is another beauty, featuring the Observatory back. There are many versions of the observatory back, and I believe this is the most beautiful of all with the brick detail on the observatory and 8 stars. The case is made of stainless steel with gold inlay and 14kt gold plated in the front.
I had this watch recently serviced by Omega and it keeps perfect time. I have it stored in a automatic watch winder, and I use it as a regulator for the rest of my watch collection. I have compared its movement accuracy with another Omega with a Swiss-made Quartz movement, and I cannot find any inaccuracies so far. I am certain that I will enjoy this Jewel for years to come.
