This month's SOM is a pink gold Omega Constellation 'transition' model manufactured in 1961.
Its rare to see these models in pink gold and ever rarer to chance upon an example in museum quality. Click here for a photo-essay on this superb piece.
What an absolute beauty Desmond and grats to the lucky owner.
Why cant I find one of those for sale? I only seem to find the frankens!
Another nice write up (to be expected though from you) and i had started to worry your new other blogs were taking you away from the mothership as it were :P

Yes, it's a great watch eh?
ReplyDeleteBeauties like these are hard to find that's for sure.....maybe a side trip to old Amsterdam ? :)
Ah the other blogs.....the Omega was was a response to loys of emails and a review of keywords amongst the traffic...and I thought I'd try my hand :)

Great watch and a pleasure to look at. Just a crying shame that there is a scratch on the calendar dial above the 27.

Yes I saw that.
ReplyDeleteI guess its easy enough to replace the date ring, the question would be whether to maintain full factory originality.
I think I'd keep it as I would only be reminded one day a month :)
