ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH

OMEGA CONSTELLATION CHRONOMETER ELECTRONIC  F300HZ REF    AP07169

A rare treat for all you omega lovers - classic 1970s watch using the latest electronic technology and the cutting edge of its time. This is serious quality and these electronic watches are getting very collectable. The movement is based around Bullova's Accutron system of using a tuning fork that is vibrated by small electro magnets and the vibrations are used as the power source for the watches mechanical movement. It is extremely accurate and allowed Omega to market them with a chronometer badge. Swiss made and it really shows with this fantastic build quality, being hewed out of solid stainless steel for the case and bracelet. It is very heavy and you certainly know it is on your wrist. This model is a fine example in used but extremely nice condition with no scratches to the crystal and the case and bracelet very nearly mint with only the slightest of marks that are hardly noticeable. Time is shown on a sunken dial in brushed silver with smart chrome batons and a quick set date, all displayed in a retro square case and aperture. It is running perfectly and holding time ( here the classic Accutron humming when you put it to your ear ) . Fits up to a huge 8" wrist and large dimensions all round on this serious man’s retro watch.
