Omega Constellation C-Case - North Korean Trophy - Kim Il Sung Signed Dial

Kim Il Sung was a big Omega fan, primarily C-Case's and he gifted these watches to his generals and party leaders. 751 cal version with the star was a very lucky find for me at the time. I kept this watch all original and raw, including the crystal scratches.

I used to be a neutral collector, collecting every C-Case variant regardless of whether I liked it or not. Recently decided to keep only the watches I aesthetically liked. Selling my historic watches.

Price has negotiability and an extreme amount if you want to buy multiple watches, I am also letting go off other rare C-Case's but I am slow to list them

Bump, price is flexible, the other watch sold

Bump

A crazy slice of history - any idea how this got outside NK?

They surface in Japan, something related to the proximity of the 2 countries but the rest would be speculation

Mine has the star, the last one to surface was identical to mine except it had no star. I speculate its related to rank

Pretty incredible! Borders were more porous in the past I guess.

There's more on the forum that I missed (or more likely forgot) here https://omegaforums.net/threads/north-korean-constellation.26078/

BTW, IIRC most (all?) c-shapes have a star on the dial at 6 right? (My 169.029 does)
