Omega constellation is for style comparison and isn't included. Sale is for Mido watch only. Never seen another one like it, rare case only seen two other in many years. 917R, Rare dial like this and it is in exceptional condition. You will only find this hand set on the highest end Mido.

Scarce 917R made with extra quality, the only large-scale produced regulator featuring a free oscillating hairspring. Fantastic plateau pie pan - hub dial.

Golden reflective guilloche Railroad track style hour ring. Gold plate is in fantastic condition with no wear through, with normal signs of use. I did polish the crystal to near flawless condition.

Lugs are drill through style. My favorite thing about this watch is the unusual case profile. It has a dollop shape almost like a Hershey kiss, very distinctive.

Thanks for your shared interest in this piece. These watches have a very similar design language to Omega. I have always called this my Mido Constellation. Both have larger indices at 12, 6, 9. Each has dauphine hands and long arched tapered lugs that are under cut where they meet the case, plateau style pie pan dials, both bulge around the side of the case and each has the very highest grade movements of the time from their respective manufacturers.
