closest I can come-- The first Constellations (till late 60s) were also reffered to as 'pie-pans' because the dial has the same shape as a upside down pie-pan. It used the 28.10RA movement a.k.a the cal.354 movement. the cal.354 movement as used in those first Constellations Id say it is a very early model.

I appreciate your comments, I could not find this exact dial of the ones I have found online. I can say this watch is in excellent condition considering it's age from what I can tell. So, it is a constellation or a pie-pan?

Serial puts it around '52 or '53. Dial looks original and has a guilloche pattern (like a waffle). It's a nice looking watch, condition looks good! Not too overpolished, and for the most part everything looks original. I think the crown might be a replacement though. It's not a Constellation or a pie-pan, just a nice 50s Omega bumper.

The dial is shaped like a pie pan though. It's just hard to see. The swiss made mark is on the bottom and you can't see it because of the dial being pie panned shape unless you look carefully down into the watch.

I don't know if I would call it a true pie pan though, the term pie pan is mostly used with Constellations and some Seamasters. The sides of a pie pan are more exaggerated like this one:

Yes, true, looking at mine it is a round pie pan so to speak, the const. has angled edges. Is this a rare dial, have you seen it before?

Take a look at this early constellation with a round pie pan dial.

From what I've learned that Constellation doesn't look to be a pie-pan, I think it's called a dome dial? I will double check with a friend but I'm pretty sure what you have is not a true pie pan dial...

Ok, thanks, very helpful. Will try to remember that.
