Omega Men's 1503.10.00 Constellation Double Eagle Automatic Chronometer Watch

This is my second Omega watch the first being a 1968 Constellation. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Constellation Double eagle was available. My '68 Constellation is in perfect running order and has been a joy to own. It was passed down to me by my family.
