商品説明
This is a 1960 Omega Constellation, "Ref.14381-8-SC".
The "SC" in "Ref.14381-8-SC" stands for center seconds.
The case is CAP GOLD.
Cap gold involves a very thick layer of gold bonded over a stainless steel case.
It is characterized by a thicker gold layer than gold plating or gold-filled pieces, and is a specification found in luxury watches from the 1960s.
The case back is made of stainless steel and is a screw-back design.
The golden observatory logo remains in beautiful condition.
Since relatively few Constellation models feature the golden observatory logo, this piece feels quite special.
It is powered by the "Caliber 551" movement.
This is a chronometer-certified movement used in high-end "Constellation" models.
It features the red-gold plating unique to Omega, giving it an elegance befitting a luxury timepiece.
As this is a non-date model, it is easy to use without the need for calendar adjustments.
This watch is recommended for those looking for an antique Omega that is both simple and distinctive.
How to operate
How to pull out the crown: Insert a fingernail between the case and the crown and pull it out gently.
It is easier to pull out if you insert your nail from the back of the case.
Please remove the watch from your wrist before operating to prevent bending the crown.
Handling it gently will reduce the strain on the crown.
Manual winding: Rotate upwards while the crown is in the normal position.
Time setting: Pull out the crown and rotate downwards.
