商品説明
This is the most popular 12-sided dial model of the Omega Constellation.
The dial has a radial finish.
The outer circumference of the indices has a slope characteristic of the 12-sided dial.
It is designed to create beautiful shadows depending on the angle of the light, giving it a luxurious feel.
At the 12 o'clock position on the dial, there is an inscription that reads "CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED," which is proof of chronometer certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (C.O.S.C.).
The case is made of stainless steel.
The lugs of the case have an angled, linear design (commonly known as "cat's claw" lugs), giving it a stylish appearance.
The hands are Dauphine hands, often seen in Omega watches from the 1960s, resulting in an elegant and refined dial design.
The movement installed is the Caliber 564, a famous chronometer-certified caliber.
At the time, it was only used in high-end models like the Constellation in Omega's lineup.
The movement is engraved with "ADJUSTED FIVE (5) POSITIONS AND TEMPERATURE," which means "adjusted to five positions and temperature differences."
The entire movement is plated with rose gold, giving it the prestige of a high-end timepiece.
It comes with an Omega box and a catalog from that era, making it an interesting collector's item.
The catalog is a small booklet with 10 pages in total, and it has a stamp from Daimaru Kobe store on the back.
It lists the prices of various models, including the Constellation and Speedmaster.
It's interesting to note that the Constellation was priced higher than the Speedmaster Professional.
This is recommended for those looking for an antique Omega model that is both simple and distinctive.
Operating Instructions
How to pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown out by inserting a fingernail between the case and the crown.
Pulling the crown too hard may cause it to detach. Please pull it out gently.
To prevent bending the crown, please remove the watch from your wrist when operating it.
Gentle operation can reduce stress on the crown.
Manual winding: Rotate the crown upwards from the normal position.
Setting the time: Pull the crown out one click and rotate it downwards.
The second hand does not stop.
Quick date change: Pull the crown out two clicks.
To continuously quick-set the date, alternate between the two-click and one-click positions of the crown.
Performing a quick date change when the watch is pointing between '9 PM and 2 AM' will cause a malfunction.
If you need to quick-set the date, it is recommended to set the time to around 6 AM first.
