The dauphine hands age in a consistent manner with the dial, showing slight oxidation and surface spots, while the central seconds hand appears pristine.

Case and glass
The stainless steel case features the characteristic dog-leg lugs of early Constellations, retaining a solid original geometry alongside honest vintage wear. There are moderate scratches and wear consistent with age and use on the smooth steel case and bezel. The case back displays a remarkably crisp gold observatory medallion with well-defined stars. A decagonal crown signed with the Omega logo is fitted, showing moderate wear to its edges and logo. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, with few visible scratches or distortions.

Mouvement

The movement appears clean and well-preserved with clear engravings and no obvious signs of heavy corrosion or damage. The timegrapher recorded +5+7 seconds per day. Demonstrating remarkable accuracy and consistency, it runs brilliantly for a vintage watch.

State
Good vintage condition. The watch shows honest vintage wear, with moderate scratches on the case and bezel, and wear on the signed crown. The dial and hands have distinct spots and patina.

Remarks
This Constellation combines the traditional pie-pan dial and dog-leg lugs that defined the model's main production from the early 1960s. The crisp gold observatory medallion and the robust performance of the chronometer-certified caliber 551 make it a compelling choice for enthusiasts of mid-century Omega design.

History
The Omega Constellation was introduced in 1952 as the brand's flagship chronometer line, distinguished by its precision movements and the observatory medal on the case back, a symbol of Omega's success in chronometry testing. The caliber 551, introduced in the late 1950s, is highly regarded for its reliability and efficiency. The combination of the faceted pie-pan dial and the sharply angled dog-leg lugs became one of the most celebrated designs of the 20th century, cementing the Constellation's status as a leading evening watch of its era.
