Omega Constellation Pie Pan BLUE DIAL

Hi all,
I’m curious. First time seeing a blue dial, pie pan Constellation. Hard to find any reference on it. Is this authentic in your opinion?

Regards
Alex

I do not think Omega made a blue dial during this time period. And have never seen a blue pie pan. Black (rare), silver and gold/champagne are all I have ever seen.
I can only find 2 blue pie pans on the internet, one that says it is a re dial and one that Heritage auction sold with no disclaimer.
I suppose it is possible, but I would bet money against it, and I do not gamble.
If it was a 70's Constellation with a tv dial or a barrel case then yes.

I probably have a dozen pie pans and have collected vintage Omega for 30 years.

I agree. This is the first I recall seeing. Also, compared to other areas of the dial, the paint looks kinda thin where the minutes chapter is printed.

Thank you for the feedback,

I have the same view.

Having drooled over so many piepans, I was exited to see a blue one for the first time. It was wishful thinking from my end. It would have been kinda cool if Omega did produce a batch of these.

I like my watches original, but I will admit that I bought an Omega Seamaster, with a redone blue waffle dial from the 50's. I knew it wasn't original, but I liked the look. I paid $250, I think.
If the Constellation was priced as a redone dial I would consider it, as it is a good looking watch.

It is not worthless when it is not all original, but I pay accordingly, to it's originality.
