What case reference is that?
The first Constellations came out in the early 1950's. They were Globemasters in the US for a couple years because of some kind of trademark issue, and switched to Constellation like everywhere else in 1954. You can learn just about all you need to know if you search for Constellation Collector's Blogspot.

Many thanks, Ralph & Graham.
I can only see the difference when I have another similar Omega to compare with. Cheers. Ham L.
Around here....
..... there seems to be at least one member with a correct original version of just about every vintage Omega to use as a comparison. What immediately caught my attention was the last "n" in Constellation - it didn't roll under. At least most Connies had ...

I have 3 2852 de Luxe and I think Mike has some, too. Here's my rosegold 2852 de Luxe. Best. Hoi....
Thanks , Hoipolloi.
I bought this Constellation from Australia. I read your post on Constellation "dials from Australia" which has Chronometer instead of Chronometre, similar to that of mine. They can do 'wonders' even with gold dial watch. ( I am learning) I have a smaller ...
Not much that I can do
Hi. I don't think that I can help you much here but our watch looks correct and original to me. I have one like that, 32mm in diameter, powered by a cal 500 and cased in the US with a snap back (yours in the UK, right ?) These watches do not belong to any...
Thank you Hoipolloi
I am quite sure that your Constellation is the correct one., after having viewed other Constellations. Warmest regards . Ham L.
