Omega
Pie Pan 星座八卦面，烏蠅字
The
Omega Constellation pie pan dial was so named because of its similarity to an
up-turned pie pan. This is the one of the most desired Vintage Omega as its a
constellation with the Pie Pan and big markers dial in gold cap version plus
the Omega bracelet. In Asia its called the Pa Qua dial 八卦面，insect fly markers 烏蠅字, I don't have many
vintage Omega but this will seat nicely with the rest.
According
to Desmond, an expert in Omega, the Calibre 504 was the first date model to
appear in the 500 series Constellation range, believed to have been released
just after, or concurrently with, the calibre 502 non-chronometer date model.
Only 25,000 calibre 504s were produced, adding to their collectibility, and, as
such, the calibre often has a special place in the collections of Constellation
aficionados. The date setting is not of the quick-set variety and it is quite a
laborious task to set the date if you take the watch out for irregular walks on
different days of the month. Coupled with its comparative rarity, it represents
good historical and investment value. Calibre 504 featured a number of very
attractive dials with arrow-head, faceted and onyx inlaid markers. The first dated
version of the Grand Luxe was also powered by a calibre 504 and the gold dial
with gold and onyx markers is a feast for the eyes.
