No New Purchase, But Nice.

Today I'm wearing a 1959 Omega Constellation Calendar (first offering of calendar from Omega). This one has the chronometer grade 504 calibre of which about 25,000 were made. The arrow head markers are in pink gold as is the sweep hand. The hour and minute I replaced with genuine omega dagger hands but they don't make pink gold hands anymore so I used regular gold. The strange thing about the watch besides the pie-pan dial is that the case is stainless steel. I've seen other examples with the stainless steel/pink gold combination in Desmond Guilfoyles comprehensive review of the constellation line. I wonder about the patina at the 8,9,10,and 11 hour markers, but I know it has NOT been repainted--this is the original dial. I have two examples of these chronometers, and am thinking of selling this one. In any case, hope you like it.
