Omega

did Omega ever sell a constellation with only a red star & the omega letter on the dial. I have been offered a supposedly vintage, rose gold "constellation" with this dial set up. thanks in advance.

i dont 'think' they ever did a constellation as you describe, but they did 'i think'(again), a long time ago, do a handwind chronometer with red star with movements based on the Kew Observatory winning movement. they also did the 'unnamed constellation' c... 

thanks for the info. I can't post a picture because the store owner wont let me take one. I'm thinking it must be one of the South American watches.

...which has the case references for these watches, called the Teddington in Brazil. If it not one of the three listed references, I'd be wary. Also, the "red star" was a manual-wind watch. The Constellation was an automatic. So if it automatic and has a ...  

... like this: In my modest opinion the 'hype' about red-starred Teddingtons is truly a hoax. These 30mm movements were absolutely bog-standard ones - Omega's clever references to any good results during 1947 tests at the Laboratory in London served only ...

however this time from a competing brand in le Locle, Switzerland. Anytime a star is involved on chronometers, reference is made to observatoria. And what do people watch there...? ...Yes!...  

Good day everyone… The watch with a star…. Good point Ben,... Here is a ad for the 135 … And my steel 36.5 mm screwback captain case example… I am still up in the air about the red star Omegas personally. You can not collect everything… Good Hunting Bill ...  

The real attractiveness of the 135 is situated in it's internal organs (Peseux 260 as well) Feast your eyes: That is what i call a pretty sight, ciao, Ben....
