Sell Your Vintage Omega Constellation in London

About the Omega Constellation

From the 1950s the Constellation was Omega's chronometer flagship, with faceted 'pie-pan' dials, the observatory medallion caseback and calibres such as the 551 and 561. Dress cases in steel, gold-capped and solid gold are all found.

Notable vintage Constellation references

Vintage references we regularly assess include:

• 'Pie-pan' dial Constellations of the 1950s–60s
• Calibre 551 / 561 chronometer automatics
• Observatory medallion casebacks
• Gold-capped, steel and solid-gold cases
• Original dials with correct applied markers

Originality on a vintage Omega Constellation

On a vintage Constellation, an original 'pie-pan' dial, correct applied markers and an unpolished case matter as much as the calibre. Refinished dials and replacement parts affect value, and we explain what we find.

What affects the value of a Omega Constellation

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a vintage Omega Constellation:

• Reference and calibre
• Dial originality and 'pie-pan' condition
• Case metal and sharpness
• Prior polishing
• Movement condition and service history
• Provenance and any papers present

Selling a Omega Constellation without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a vintage Omega Constellation without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Omega Constellation

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
