Hello friends,
As part of my ongoing rationalisation of what is frankly an out of control collection, I'm going through and making some tough decisions about watches which I love, but do not spend nearly enough time on my wrist.
One of these is this Omega Marine Chronometer Constellation 1516.
I bought this watch in late 2020, from the family of the original German owner, who I was told was a regional sales director for Omega in the 70s and 80s.
It comes with its original Omega "Votre Garantie En Electronique" black folder with both the Besancon certificate, and the Omega test certificate, along with an Omega Megaquartz 2400 instruction/guarantee brochure.
Serial number is 37060618, which the Besancon certificate states passed testing on 10 May 1977.
In early 2021, I visited Tony at Swiss Time Services, where he checked the watch over, and replaced the seals and battery.
In early 2022 by James Harris at Harris Horology replaced the battery again (approx 1 year between changes).
I have taken lots of photos of the watch from all angles (please see below), but am unfortunately unable to provide a movement shots as I have neither the steadiness of hand, nor the screwdriver required. These images are unedited, taken in daylight, and in them I have done everything I can to show the true and honest condition of the watch.
Overall it is in very good condition for its age. I do not think it was worn very much. But you can see some swirls on the polished under side parts of the case, and there are some clear marks here and there. That said, it is a nearly 50 year old watch.
Asking for £2,950 but open to offers.
UK buyer preferred, face-to-face in London can be arranged.
Please ask if you have any questions.
