I promised an eBay pick to celebrate my return to the platform, and here it is. This 1970s Omega Constellation is, like the Cyma, also chronometer rated, but that’s less important here as by the 1970s, UK best replica Omega watches were sending most, if not all, of their many Constellations to be certified. In this era, Omega made a lot of watches and, in particular, a lot of different variants of the Constellation. Building on the brand cache of its first Constellation in 1952, Omega aggressively built out the model’s offering over the next few decades. By the 1970s, the high quality fake Omega Constellation watches less a specific model with a gold case and “pie-pan” dial but more a signifier that the watch you are looking at was a premium time-only Omega offering.
So, while this one is in a stainless steel case, you get a little bit of extra sauce with an eggshell white dial and Breguet numerals. This style of numerals is not something cheap super clone Omega did a ton of back in the day, and they’re quite hard to find on Constellations. Thinking back to my days on the Hodinkee Shop Vintage Team, I remember a few Breguet-numeraled vintage 1:1 wholesale replica Omega crossing my desk, but typically, they were lower-quality, more “workhorse” Omega models like this one.
An eBay seller out of Homewood, Illinois (a town over from my hometown, by the way), has put this Swiss copy Omega up for auction, ending Sunday, December 15, at 1:04 PM ET.
