OMEGA CONSTELATION ELECTRO QUARTZ F8192 HZ 
REF MY6666

A rare treat for all you omega lovers - classic 1970's using the latest electronic technology and the cutting edge of its time. This Omega is one of only two different models that they made with the seriously rare Beta 21 movement. This was also fitted to no less than IWC, Longines Patek Philippe and Rolex so it is in the best of company. The movement makes a low humming noise much like Bullova’s Accutron and uses similar technology to the tuning fork module . vibrations are caused by small electro magnets and the vibrations are used as the power source for the watches mechanical movement. It was extremely accurate and the beta 21 set a new record in 1969 with deviation of 0.004 seconds per day .

Swiss made and it really shows  with this fantastic build quality, being hewed out of solid stainless steel for the case and bracelet. This model is a fine example and in great used condition. The coffin shaped case is in excellent condition with only the fine hairline scratches hardly worth mentioning and complete with all original links on its original Omega bracelet .There are some light scratches to the mineral glass crystal but a new Omega crystal can be bought for about £30 .Time is shown on a sunken dial in brushed blue and sports white hour markers and hands with date window at 6 . The dial is perfect and patina free . It is running perfectly and holding time ( hear the classic and tell tale humming when you put it to your ear ) . This watch is a real investment and such a rare piece that you are unlikely to find one any where else and especially in this condition .
