OMEGA Constellation Chronometer TV Watch ref.BA 368.0852 cal.1001 / 18K Gold

An iconic Swiss-made Omega Constellation Automatic Chronometer, ref.BA 368.0852, has arrived.

Announced in 1969, this was the first model with a bracelet integrated into the case design, and because the case shape resembles a 1960s television set it has been called the TV watch.

Case and bracelet are entirely 18k yellow gold, as is the dial.

"OM Swiss Made OM" appears below six o'clock, where OM stands for "or massif" — solid gold in French.

It carries a high-quality chronometer-grade automatic movement, the Omega Cal.1001.

The sides of the bracelet are mirror finished, which makes a good accent.

Serviced, refinished and given an ultra-thin protective coating by Hakkindo, a former authorised Rolex dealer — the highest level of quality, so that it feels like new. The coating's resistance to scratching and impact has been confirmed by third-party testing.
