Omega

. . . a Connie?

I've owned this '57 ref 2852 aka Black Connie for twelve years.  If only it kept as good time as it looks . . . it's never run particularly well.  My current watchmaker regulated it to ~ +15 sec/day, which was an improvement but still not satisfactory.  Might have to bite the bullet and ask for an overhaul and a thorough parts inspection.  Perhaps there's a marginally worn wheel or pinion that's contributing to its inability to keep good time.

Let's see the Constellations in your collections.  The other two in mine are a '58 2852 decked in white gold . . .

. . . and a '60 2943 in rose.

Cordially,

Art

. . . identically specified - steel case, black engraved dial with rose gold hands and markers.  Seen all sorts of combinations, but only two altogether like mine.

... if you rotate it often and do not wear this watch for more than one or two days I wouldn´t mind much about a 15 seconds a day difference. Yes, yes, I know... we wish a Connie working as a Connie should! Lol.

I feel Constellations are among the most beautiful models made by Omega in the past. Your example is such an special one: honey comb and black dial and indexes to die for. Not an easy Connie to find!

Of course very nice the other two as well.

Here I share mine. I had some kind of fixation with Connies some years ago. I still love them so much.

Cheers! Abel

. . . my gosh, Abel, where have you been hiding this rare jewel!!  All of yours are delectable, but the black dial . . . oh, my. 

Reference number?  Not a 2943, as that should have 'Calendar' on the dial, as far as I know.  Should be a later model with a cal 561 movement.

Amazed,

Art

I think I own a two more Connies which I need to find their pictures.

I love the model and there are so many variants to hunt!

Thank you again my dear friend! Abel
