The classic Constellation script and Omega Automatic typography are crisply printed. Close inspection reveals age-consistent patina, most notably some staining and discoloration along the outer edges, particularly visible around the ten and eleven o'clock positions. The hands remain well-preserved with minor signs of aging consistent with the watch's vintage nature. Case and Crystal The stainless steel tonneau case exhibits a lovely blend of polished surfaces and a vertically brushed caseback. The case lines remain well-defined, showing normal, honest handling marks and superficial scratches commensurate with decades of wear. The original Omega-signed crown is present and features sharp knurling. The watch is fitted with a domed acrylic crystal that displays scattered light surface scratches, which do not significantly detract from the overall visual appeal of the timepiece. Movement Inside the watch beats the Omega Caliber 663, a compact and robust automatic movement finished in Omega's signature copper tone. The close-up images reveal the caliber engraving and the serial number 37524460, placing its production in the early 1970s. The movement presents cleanly with its authentic mechanical character intact. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady. The timegrapher results indicate an accuracy of +30 to +35 seconds per day. Strap The watch is presented on a black leather strap featuring the Omega and Swiss Made stampings on the inner lining. It is secured by a vintage stainless steel tang buckle bearing the applied Omega logo, completing the period-correct aesthetic. Condition Good vintage condition.
