Distinctive Linen Dial with Date Display

The silver-colored Linen Dial is one of the special features of this Constellation. The fine, textile structure of the dial creates a fascinating appearance depending on the light, giving the watch significantly more depth than a classic, smooth dial.

The date display harmoniously integrates into the design, making the watch particularly suitable for everyday wear.

The dial is in Very Good condition and harmonizes perfectly with the 35mm stainless steel case.

Classic Stainless Steel Case

The 35mm stainless steel case is in Mint condition and has been professionally cleaned and highly polished. The bezel has also been polished to a high sheen and is likewise in Mint condition.

The balanced proportions and understated design perfectly match the typical appearance of a classic Omega Constellation from the 1960s.

A special detail is the original Omega acrylic crystal, which is also rated Mint. For collectors, the preservation of the original crystal is a nice bonus.
