The case remains in excellent vintage condition, retaining sharp, well-defined lug profiles and distinct transitions between the brushed top surfaces and the polished chamfered edges. Honest, light handling marks consistent with careful vintage wear are present, but the case geometry remains entirely uncompromised. The right flank features the correct recessed push-button crown used for setting the Caliber 1387 movement. The flat crystal is clear and well-preserved, showing no distracting scratches or chips. The snap-on stainless steel caseback is a highlight, featuring a deeply engraved and incredibly crisp Constellation observatory medallion surrounded by eight stars, while the interior is correctly stamped with the Omega triangle, "ACIER INOXYDABLE", and the dual reference numbers 595.0007 and 795.0804. Movement Powering this Constellation is the Omega Caliber 1387, a high-quality 6-jewel Swiss quartz movement that exemplifies Omega's technical prowess during the era. The movement plate is cleanly stamped with the Omega logo, caliber designation, and the serial number 42292812, which accurately dates the production of this timepiece to 1979. The movement presents cleanly upon visual inspection, with all visible circuitry, plates, and the stepping motor appearing well-maintained and undisturbed. Strap The watch is fitted with its original period-correct integrated stainless steel flat-link bracelet. The brushed links are in excellent condition, showing minimal stretch and maintaining a tight, fluid drape that conforms comfortably to the wrist. The bracelet is secured by its original folding clasp, which proudly displays the applied Omega logo on the outer cover and operates with a firm, secure snap.

The case and integrated bracelet show only light, superficial signs of wear, maintaining their original factory finishes and sharp architectural lines.
