Omega Constellation - 168.004

Lightening strikes twice! This watch is powered by a special movement  - one of which we wrote in another one of our listings here. Essentially, this movement is 1 of 100,000 special movements produced by Omega that was even commemorated in one of there advertisements in the 1960s (picture attached). This example has a lot of vintage charm. Its solid gold case has developed a rosy patina and sports an uncommon linen crosshair dial.
