Is it 35mm model with 2500 calibre ?
The one on the right is my wedding watch, and I guess it has at least 1/3 of my wristime since then. Although the dial is quite different from yours, I can comment that, at least, it wears very comfortable and keeps good time
Soft spot
Always had a soft spot for Connies, both vintage and modern. The bracelet is comfortable and very good looking. It’s one of the few watches, I think, that look good in two-tone steel-gold. Sized at 39 mm, there’s nothing you can do wrong, by getting one of these, Art.
PS what about the Globemaster? An often underestimated, very good looking timepiece.

The Globemaster that appeals . . .
. . . isn't financially feasible.

The platinum-stitched strap alone would set you back more than a vintage Connie.
The shaped-case Connie that could make it into my collection would be one of the Japan-market limited editions from the late '60s.

Few made, aesthetically compelling dials.

Very nice one, indeed.
Being a limited edition, is a disadvantage imo. On the other hand, I have no idea if these are still available at Omega ADs/boutique.
Wasn’t aware of the existence of the Japan version. Looks very good and is sending some sixties vibes. I certainly have some catching up to do on Omegas vintage pieces.

Looks great on your wrist. Classic style and very "omega"
With modern technology that will serve you well years ahead. If you can"t stop thinking about it, you must get it.
Admitedly, the style is not my taste, but the beauty of different taste is what makes this hobby so much fun.

Very Under Rated and Super Cool for me, I recommend, pull the trigger especially with this very stylish dial [nt]

Another vote for pulling the trigger! . . .
. . . definitely not this year, but there's always next ;-) . . .
Art, I really like the modern Constellation...
with the Art Deco styling it has. I remember at one point you were looking for a Double Eagle Chronograph...
This one? . . .
. . . titanium case, rubber bracelet with titanium clasp, carbon fiber dial. Très cool. And supremely comfortable, not only to wear but operate as well. Surprised you remember!

That's the one!
I think either of those Constellations are great. Always nice to have a modern watch; no worries about having to hunt down parts and watchmakers willing to repair them.
I have always liked the Connies and still have an older model in a bank safe which I have not worn for many years. It was an Ernie Els edition with the golf ball motif on the dial...
great and comfortable watch from what I remember 👌
Just when I thought I'd seen 'em all . . .
. . . you brought a surprise!
I wonder if Ernie's still wearing his . . .
LOL, exactly this model. I still think it looks great and from what I remember, it is super comfortable as well 😁 [nt]

This model from a few years back? . . .
. . . in all likelihood the only pie-pan annual in existence!
;-)
Yes!
I am of course in favor. I think it would be a very nice addition to your collection. But would you wear it often? I don't see the Rail Master out much?
You know me well, Kev! . . .
. . . a new Connie would likely get even less wrist time than the Rail.
The only way this works out is if the collection shrinks a bit first . . .
