Description from the seller

Omega Constellation Automatic Chronometer – Ref. 2852 – 18K Solid Gold – Cal. 505 – Vintage 1958


An elegant and highly collectible Omega Constellation, representing one of the brand’s most iconic and prestigious chronometer lines from the golden era of Swiss watchmaking.

This refined timepiece is crafted in solid 18K yellow gold, featuring a classic and timeless 35 mm case with beautifully preserved proportions. The watch is fitted with a striking black dial (professionally restored), enhanced by applied gold baton hour markers and matching dauphine hands, creating a sophisticated and luxurious aesthetic.
The Constellation name and signature star at 6 o’clock emphasize its chronometer-grade precision and heritage.
At its heart beats the renowned Omega Caliber 505, an automatic chronometer-certified movement with 24 jewels, adjusted to high standards and known for its reliability and smooth performance. This caliber represents Omega’s technical excellence during the 1950s and is highly regarded among collectors.
The case back features the iconic Constellation observatory medallion, symbolizing Omega’s achievements in precision timekeeping competitions.
