A bit more than 30mm surely.....

I still have one of these but am deliberating moving it on. It's very odd but whilst I love vintage Connies, the C shape just doesn't do it for me. I'm sure I'm in the minority though.

Glad you like yours.

Cheers

Today I am wearing my Omega Constellation Cal 564 from 1975. 30mm in case size, but wears beautifully. Very accurate even till this day. almost 40 years later. It will probably outlast me and tick for another 40 years with no problem. Makes you think whet...

Life is a continual repetition… Here is one wonderful watch that I sadly was too hesitant to make a move for at the time. Still haunting me many years later… Only it is more than 30 years younger :-) May you wear your very nice Omega for many happy hours....
