Super Rare Omega Constellation From The 70s

I am maintaining an Omega Constellation equipped with caliber 1012. The watch is from the 1970s and is in great condition for its age.
This particular Omega movement had several hidden challenges. I did my best to clean and lubricate it.
Hope you enjoy the video 😊

For every opinion, there is an opposing one. Your videos have perfect sound; I would not change a thing. It is positively soul soothing and peaceful, which is extremely hard to find in this day and age. Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Thank you for your kind words. About sound I agree with you totally... I myself like videos like this. It was one of the reasons why I started the channel. I like to see this kind of videos... but this endless talking... Anyway thank you so watching ☺️

[@johanmarais4179]

I look at lots of watch repair video's, and this is the first time I see this beautiful colour of the inside.

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Thank you 🙏 I measure the color accuracy while working several times. In post production I do color grading to get the color right ☺️

[@user-jy4si9mn9z]

The layout and workmanship of the movement are very beautiful.

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Truly very nice designed movement.

Обслуживание часов , очень увлекательное занятие . Со родни ремонту или обслуживанию редукторов трансмиссии автомобилей , коробок переключения передач , с той только разницей , что если уронить шестерню редуктора , то трудно будет ее не заметить на месте её падения . С часами веселее , упавшую куда то деталь часов , порой приходится долго искать , и удаётся найти в самых неожиданных местах . Например выстрельнувшую пружинку противоударного устройства оси баланса , я нашел , когда посмотрел на себя в зеркало . Пружинка была у меня на брови . А в процессе её поиска , я исползал весь пол вокруг рабочего стола , подсвечивая себе фонариком . Настолько важна чистота рабочего места и хотя бы полтора метра вокруг него . Для этой профессии или увлечения требуется фантастическая усидчивость , аккуратность и терпение . А с возрастом , всё быстрее устаёт спина и неприятные ощущения сокращают время , которое можно усидеть за любимым занятием по обслуживанию механизмов . Лет сто назад и пятьдесят лет назад делали люди отличные часы , которые увы , стоили довольно дорого . А ныне их можно купить относительно не дорого , но все они нуждаются в обслуживании , а порой и в ремонте , поэтому умение обслуживать и ремонтировать часы сегодня ценится . Часов много , а хороших часовщиков всегда не хватает . Далеко не каждый желающий , может и захочет заниматься таким скрупулёзным занятием . Я умею обслуживать часы и имею для этого необходимый набор инструментов . Как ни странно , с интересом смотрю подобные видео . Возможно ещё и потому , что не все виды часов попадали в мои руки и мне интересно , как они устроены , и как их следует обслуживать . Сам до сих пор ношу механические часы , с удовольствием , хотя всё больше склоняюсь к мысли , что кварцевые часы проще в эксплуатации . В разное время , при разных условиях ношу разные часы . Главным образом , чтобы уберечь ценные для меня часы от ударов или замыкания ими электрических цепей , когда работаю с электрическим оборудованием , находящимся под напряжением .

Lovely work. Big fan of a quite meditative video. And I’ve grown to like the 1000 series of movements too. Interesting design with quite a few watchmaker friendly elements. Cheers mate.

[@fulvioplatania3091]

great great job Maestro, indeed! Strange you do not use a brass tweezers instead the steel ones…

[@MagicWatchmaking]

I do not like the brass tweezers at all. I have them and they are unused. I mostly use titanium or carbon fiber tweezers. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@yesterdayschild1418]

Great video, thank you I enjoyed watching it. I noticed you wear a loupe on your glasses, please can you tell me which one you use brand, and magnification?

[@MagicWatchmaking]

I have 2 loupes. Both from Bergeon 1492D. Magnification 2.5 and 3.3 Thank you for watching

[@WatchCompany123]

👍👍👍

[@kswaminathan5439]

Very very impressive workmanship. Sir, what is the stick you used to clean the dial? And what wood did you use to polish the hands?

[@MagicWatchmaking]

For dial cleaning I used „Adhesive Head Swabs“ and for cleaning the hands I used always „Bergeon 6mm Leather Buff Stick“. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@kswaminathan5439]

Thank you, Sir, for your prompt response.

Very cool video. One small note, it's too quiet. Lots of action with no sound. Using a proper microphone will improve your videos.

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Thanks for the tip! Do you have any microphone suggestion for me?

[@user-hu8bn2dm3n]

من فضلك عندي ساعة pierpont ميكانيكية نسائية قديمة وهي بحالة جيدة وعندي ساعة Sndoz قديمة رجالية خدش بسيط بالميناء ولكنها تعمل بشكل جيد وساعة sirgint تعمل بشكل جيد اريد بيعهم وساعة ام صليب قديمة يلزمها اصلاح بسيط وايضا اريد بيعها

I’m watchmaker and not dealer. Thank you so much for watching 😊

[@user-hu8bn2dm3n]

كل الشكر والتقدير لك ولكن اريد ان اصل الى من يشتري مني هذه الساعات اذا كان بامكانك

[@vungngoaio259]

Bạn bán cho tôi chiếc đồng hồ này nhé.

[@MagicWatchmaking]

This particular models are rare and expensive. You must also consider taxes, if you are not in Europe. If you still interested, I can ask the owner!

[@user-yc1wi9de3t]

HEY #nkuwan I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@MaksymzOranmore]

Very nice. But I'm not understand. Before it was 2.5 seconds per day after 5 seconds per day. It's normal?

[@MagicWatchmaking]

The watch has minus 2.5 seconds before cleaning. As I said it is not so bad. In general watches has to be regulated in PLUS. So I regulate it similar to chronometer values which is +3 to +6 seconds per day. Thank you for watching
