Firstly thanks to Phil / @Peemacgee for helping me decipher what I've got for sale.

Manufacturer
It's an 18k solid gold Schackmann cased Omega Constellation with OWC (Omega Watch Co) and London assay mark (Leopard head)

Date
24,6xx dates the movement to around '67 small scripted 'm' hallmark dates the case to '68

Case
34mm dial case (exc crown) 18k solid gold

Dial

Gold dome dial with gold furniture and onyx inserts. Looks like a redial to me judging by the pointy 'A's' which should be flat topped.

Hands
Gold pencil hands, believed to be original? Missing a bit of black paint

Crown
A lot of English cased Constellations appear to have this style of crown so believe to be original

Bracelet
Hallmarked with D S&S which again is a Schackmann, 18k solid gold.
Bracelet is soldered onto the lugs, no idea why this was done.

Service history
Not known but sat in a safe for 30 years so will definitely need a service.

Price
No idea how to price this but as there is approx 90g of gold in the case and watch then the melt value is circa £2500.00 alone.
Also can split the head from the bracelet if any interest in either.

Looking for £4000.00 fully insured by RMSD within the UK, can ship worldwide at cost

Any further info / pictures let me know. Happy for people to contribute any addional info / errors direct to the thread instead of by PM.

Thanks for looking.

Is that 90g sans movement & crystal ?

Not surprised the DS&S is gold soldered directly to case…my 1956 ‘2852’ is exactly the same



Separating the two…bracelet / watchcase, may not be that easy
