VINTAGE OMEGA CONSTELLATION MEGAQUARTZ 32KHz
• ref: 196.0016 / 396.0811
• cal: 1310
• bracelet: 3019/201
••• STOPPED 6 DAYS AFTER NEW BATTERY INSERTED. THEN STARTED RUNNING AGAIN. NOW STOPS RANDOMLY. CONSIDER THIS WATCH AS NON-RUNNING. FOR SPARES OR REPAIRS •••
Details:
• a new battery was inserted on Dec. 18, 2025. The watch was checked by eye and ran approx. 1 min 20s slow after a day, but then settled down and ran a second or two slow per day thereafter.
• UPDATE 12/25/25: I noticed the watch stopped on 12/24/25. When I re-set the time it started running again.
• UPDATE 12/27/25: Watch had randomly stopped again. Re-set the time and it ran again, but stops randomly.
• UPDATE: 1/31/26: noticed the watch had stopped again. Took a while to get it going (by winding the hands through several full days), but has been running all day since.
THIS WATCH NEEDS A SERVICE!
IT IS BROKEN / NON-RUNNING!
••• SORRY — NO RETURNS •••
PLEASE STUDY ALL THE PICTURES CAREFULLY — THEY FORM THE MAIN PART OF THE CONDITION DESCRIPTION
But please note the following points before bidding:
• these are not the correct hands for this model. I believe these are from another cal. 1310 watch
• the hands don’t line up precisely with the indices
• the case is in excellent condition — there are still remains of the purple protective wax visible, but there are a few marks on one of the side bevels — see last two pictures
• although the watch originally came on a different bracelet, it IS the current Omega replacement service bracelet for this model (it is also in excellent condition)
• the black spongy seal had disintegrated a fair bit, but has NOT replaced
Again, with apologies, no returns
BUYERS WILL OF COURSE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL CHARGES (customs, VAT, etc) IN THEIR COUNTRY
