Omega Constellation Chronometer Rare Gold Day-Date (1970) – a rare dial for connoisseurs

The Constellation was Omega's answer to the highest standards of precision – every model featuring the "Chronometer" designation once had to pass an official test. This version from 1970 goes a step further: the striking gold dial with a day-date display is among the rarer variants of this series, making this piece a true eye-catcher for collectors.

A rare dial with original crystal

The gold dial with day-date display is in good condition for its age and is the clear unique selling point of this Constellation. The original acrylic crystal remains installed and has been freshly polished, presenting itself in very good condition. The case and bezel have been high-gloss polished and are also very well-maintained, as are the movement and case back. The appearance is complemented by a new leather strap; the strap itself is in like-new condition.

A chronometer-certified automatic movement

• Rate deviation: +1 second/day
• Amplitude: 216°
• Beat error: 0.1 ms

A rate deviation of only +1 second per day shows: This movement runs reliably and precisely – entirely in keeping with the chronometer standard for which the Constellation became famous.
