Constellation Chronometer

The Omega Constellation Chronometer Reference 2887 from 1958 is already one of the brand's high-quality chronometer models in its standard version. However, in this special version with a blue dial, it becomes an exceptionally rare collector's item.

A blue dial in this early Constellation generation is exceptionally rare and significantly harder to find than the classic silver or champagne variants. Combined with the original Omega set (including box), this creates a particularly attractive overall package for collectors.

Case & Overall Condition

The stainless steel case is in very well-maintained, almost flawless condition. The geometry of the Constellation line remains clearly and sharply recognizable, which is an important factor for collector quality in these models.

The bezel and case are also in very good to almost new condition. The overall impression is harmonious and extremely well preserved for a chronometer over 65 years old.

Dial – the heart of this watch

The blue dial is clearly the highlight of this piece. The surface shows an elegant depth, which is rarely found in early Constellation models.

In combination with the applied indices and the symmetrical design, a classic yet exceptionally rare appearance is created.

This makes the watch appear significantly more exclusive than the usual Constellation variants of this era.

Movement

Inside, the Omega Caliber 505 operates, an automatic chronometer movement known for its precision and stability.

The measured values underscore its very good technical condition:

• Amplitude: 295°
• Rate deviation: -9 s/day
• Beat error: 0.8 ms

Thus, despite its age, the movement continues to demonstrate stable and reliable chronometer performance.

Accessories & Scope of Delivery

A special highlight is the original Omega box, which is by no means a given for vintage Constellation models of this age. Together with the watch, this creates a particularly harmonious and collector-friendly overall package.

Conclusion

This Omega Constellation 2887 is an exceptionally rare variant within the Constellation series:

• extremely rare blue dial
• original box included
• well-preserved chronometer movement Caliber 505
• very well-maintained overall condition

For collectors of classic Omega chronometers, this model clearly falls into the category of "an opportunity you don't often see" – especially in this configuration.
