AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Omega Constellation Observatory (Reference 2782-9SC), a top-tier stainless steel model from Omega’s iconic Constellation line—often regarded as the pinnacle of 1950s steel Constellations. Produced in the mid-1950s (circa 1954-1958), this timepiece embodies the era’s precision and design excellence, making it a prized collectible for vintage watch enthusiasts.
Crafted from stainless steel, the watch features the legendary "Cow Ear" lugs (distinctive curved lugs that earned the nickname) and the classic "Big Fly" dial layout (a reference to its bold, legible hour markers). The case measures 34mm in diameter (a versatile, timeless size for men’s vintage watches) and shows appropriate signs of wear consistent with its age—preserving its authentic vintage charm.
Powered by Omega’s renowned automatic Caliber 354 (a "bumper" automatic movement, celebrated for its reliability and precision), this watch was certified as an Observatory Chronometer—a mark of exceptional accuracy that solidified the Constellation’s reputation as a high-performance timepiece. The movement has been well-maintained and runs smoothly.
