Omega Constellation EasyFind Calibre - Case Number - Date Index

Here is a list of all known case numbers for Omega Constellations. It is sorted by calibre number rather than case number as I have found this manner of indexing to be quite useful. 

I use this as a quick reference for correct case numbers. There are an additional 55 listings in this register that do not appear in the Omega Vintage Database, all of which have been confirmed as correct.

Date of initial release and other information is included.

Please click here for a pdf file of the register.

    Nice handy table, Desmond!

    Can we throw something in there about the 168.025, of which we both own an example?

    Take care,
    Evan (gatorcpa)

    I found no mention of the 198.0028, a 70s Connie F300, with a TV shaped dial and integrated bracelet. I have only ever seen two others on the net, one was solid 18K gold, including the face. Mine is stainless steel with a brown 'sunburst' face. A more '70s watch you couldn't hope to find ;-)

  4. Hi Niall

    If you can send a pic of the watch, including caseback (inner) I'd be happy toinclude it in the list. The Omega database isnt complete and your F300 is the first one Ive heard of \\Cheers

  7. Desmond,

    Would you happen to have the same type of list for the Seamaster Series? I am partial to that line.

    Thanks,
    Craig

  8. Hi Craig,

    Unfortunately no. Was a lot of work to compile the Connie list and a Seamaster one would be too high a mountain to climb :)

    Cheers

  10. I am not very knowledgeable on womens Omegas Amber.

    Best idea is have the case opened and take a pic of dial, movement and inner case back where there will be numbers stamped.

    Then you can match the pics to information that will be on the Omega database (or at least in most instances it will)

    Once you have the info, scroll down the rh side of this blog to the link to the Omega database. You will, have to join but its free.

    If you have any further problems, just email me.

    Cheers Desmond

    I am looking at a Pie Pan Constellation 14393 61 SC. It has a 561 in it with serial number starting with 17. It is described as a 1959 although the numbers indicate it is a 1960. The case is 14K gold. I just want to make sure everything checks out before dropping the money on it. I would hate for it to be fake or non matching parts.

  12. Sounds right to me. This model was produced from about 1959 - 1962' and as long as the serials date it in that range it should be ok
    Cheers

    I'm looking at a Constellation NON PIEPAN with case # 14393 61 SC. The 561 mvmnt. # is 19,070,xxx which indicates 1962 manufacture. Does this combination sound right, or should i stay away?

    Thanks,

    Margpres

  14. Serial number and case 14393 just makes the grade as these models were phased out in 1962.

    Should be be ok

    Cheers

    I have what i think is an Omega Constellation. Case marked 14393 possibly 9 and then sc. I think SS with gold dial insert. Calibre 561. marked as 24 jewel. another number 17602436. Your site and Omega sites say this watch is Gold, OT 14393. My watch is mixed metals. How do i clarify or check its origins.

    ReplyDelete

  16. Ah, Yes there are two entries, and the second entry KO/CK indicates metal content - CK meaning gold plaque over stainless steel.

    The 17 million number is the serial number of the movements which indicates production of the movement in 1959. IN respect to numbers, everything matches up.

    Cheers

      The case has another mark GB. Is this an indication of a watch made under licence by Omega UK. Does this detract from any value.

  17. The stamp may read CB which is a Centrale Boites (casemaker) stamp. CB was owned by the Brandt family who were also the family that created Omega.

    So CB is a swiss case and thus quite authentic.

    Cheers

      I have a Pie Pan Constellation 14393 9 SC. It has a 561 in it with serial number starting with 20. The case is stainless steel with gold logo Observatory. I want to know if the watch is authentic.

      Thanks

    3. I would be expecting a 14393 to have a serial number from late 17 million or 18 million or at the outset a 19 million number as the models were superceded in 1962

      Most of these models I see are 18 and 19 million serials

    1. A coupleof people have asked me about this one David. Dial is genuine, but hands are not - minute hand is farr too long and should just over-reach the minute index. Crown is wrong and not even the one now recommended by OMega as a replacement for the decagonal crown.

      The model is a 14381 which is slightly smaler in dial than later models.

      Price, well, I think 2400 Euro is a little over the top
