1972 Omega Constellation Electronic F 300Hz (Ref. 1980003)

On the outside, it looks fairly simple, featuring a stainless steel case, a light grey linen dial, and a date window. But the real star of the show here is the chronometer-grade electronic tuning fork movement. It's an interesting piece of horological history that was around for only a short period of time before largely being replaced by quartz movements.

Just listen for the hum instead of the typical ticking of a mechanical watch and you'll know why this is such a fun, beloved piece.

DIAL & HANDS

The fantastic grey linen dial is in fantastic condition with no notable signs of age or wear. The lume plots have aged to a soft grey color with no degradation present under UV light inspection. The black-tipped baton hands have aged to a slightly darker hue than the dial, and the red sweep seconds hand perfectly complements the red hexagon that surrounds the Omega logo at 12 o'clock. Under UV light inspection the hour and minute hand show some light lume loss.

None. The watch was recently serviced and received a new battery.
