Omega Constellation 561 Wristtime

[noirrac1j]

This is another of my rarely used watches. Every other week I tell myself "I'm gonna sell some of these one-a-month wonders" but I can't do it! In any case, this is an Omega Constellation Chronometer. Cal. 561, copper/gold-plated movement, 24 jewels, straight-line lever escapement, monometallic balance adjusted to five (5) positions and temperature, Incablock shock absorber, self-compensating flat balance spring, swan neck micrometer regulator. It is complete and the dial is original. The caseback has the gold medallion in the back. Keeps excellent time as it should although I don't have a timegrapher---yet.  I am at work so I can't open the back right here--no movement pics, sorry.

Nice example.

Meet its battered but still running cousin [emoji1]

My dad has never been one to look after stuff. Still looking for his other forgotten watches to "borrow" permanently.

Wow addict, that watch is very beat up! It looks like a cal. 751 with integrated bracelet....actually looks like its lived a good productive life and is comfortable in its skin--AND it stil works!
