A vintage 1957 Omega Constellation Calendar (reference number CK 2943), featuring a 24 jewel calibre 504 self-winding movement that has been inspected and regulated to ensure accuracy.
A perennial favorite, this Omega Constellation Calendar is from my own private collection. Link to official Omega website: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-constellation-calendar-ck-2943
The reference number (CK 2943) dates this watch to 1957. The stainless steel case (35.0mm excluding the signed crown) is in very good condition; it is clean, lightly polished, and quite sleek. The dial has a faint eggshell patina, all dial print is crisply legible, and the Dauphine hands match the hand-rivetted hour markers. The crystal is clean and clear, the signed decagonal crown is in very good condition and it winds and sets effortlessly. The date clicks over at midnight and can be quickset by winding repeatedly from 11:00pm to midnight. The caseback is in very good condition, the constellation motif and all eight stars are very clearly defined. A new case gasket was installed during the overhaul.
Inside, the 24 jewel calibre 504 movement is clean and has clearly been well cared for over the decades. The automatic assembly quietly winds the watch while you wear it. The Omega has been timegrapher regulated in positions and is keeping time quite accurately, as you'd expect. The watch comes on new, old-stock black leather bands with a matching silver buckle and old school oversized strap keeper. Scope of delivery includes only the watch as described, no papers or packaging is included. Please feel free to request specific photos or any details, I'm happy to provide them. This Constellation has been in my private collection for years and is the most consistently complimented watch I've owned. Now it can be yours!
