Constellation cal. 712
Hi!
I have the opportunity to purchase this watch, but is unsure whether it is collector worthy. It is from start 70s, ref. 153.0039, 18k gold and cal. 712. It is very reasonably priced.
Appearance wise, I prefer the older Constellations, but I have no cal. 712 in the collection and it is after all, an interresting movement. The Vintage Database seems to be missing some of the 712 ref.s
Is it something to buy?
Best

The database is patchy
on these ultrathins. I have been keeping a register of ones that I encounter in a larger list of calibres and case numbers. click here I notice that I have recorded this model before Thomas. Very attractive piece with a 18k dial. Your example, and indeed ...
they are very desirable dress watches
Also the calibre 710-712 was the flattest in house movement made by omega it was also a marvel of engineering and reliability. I might myself look for one of these watches too. best regards georges
