The present example, a reference 2852, is from 1957 and unites a number of elements dear to an avid collector. Most evidently to the beholder is the stunning and unrestored black engine-turned dial featuring applied hour markers in gold but also the Omega symbol, Omega name and Constellation star in 18 carat gold. Furthermore, this Constellation still features the original gold bracelet, a rarity by itself. The watch is overall in excellent original condition and features the correct crystal, recognisable by the microscopically small Omega symbol in the centre.
