Omega Constellation - 14902 - Box & Papers

     Originally introduced in 1952, the Constellation was Omegas flagship model.  Initially, it was revealed as a 4 digit reference with beautiful lyre lugs. Over the years its case design and dial appearance evolved over time. 
     This example, a 5 digit reference 14902, features a set of "dog-leg" lugs touted as being designed from the famous Gerald Genta who - amongst other designs - created the Patek Phillipe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
     The watch is accompanied by its original box and papers which are stamped commemorating the movement achieving "Especially Good Results" during its time in Geneva. A full set from 1962 and now here in our vintage watch shop. We couldn't be happier!
