Omega Constellation Rare Electronic Tuning Fork Quickset Day Date Chronometer
Posted on August 5, 2020 | By admin
All Original OMEGA ELECTRONIC TUNING FORK Constellation model. Special Omega Constellation Electronic watch. After mechanical watches and before the invention of quartz movements, we find a curiosity highly popular today among collectors: watches with a humming movement. This precursor of Quartz was used in several watch models, led by the Bulova Accutron. The system eliminated for the first time the mainspring and balance. They use magnetism and reliable electronic frequencies. Instead of the ticking sound made by mechanical watches, these watches have a faint, high pitch hum which came from the vibrating tuning fork, one of the appealing features for collectors. This Constellation model by Omega was released in the mid-1970’s with electronic caliber 1260, licenced and patented by Bulova. Sporty and elegant, these watches are definitely a fabulous piece of horological history. The case is made in St. Ith original Omega crown and screwdown back signed inside’Omega Watch Co.
