Uncle's notes

The Omega Constellation is an iconic timepiece, revered among watch enthusiasts for its timeless design and remarkable craftsmanship.  One of its most distinctive features is the pie pan dial, which adds depth and emphasizes the dial's simple but bold markers.

One of the common challenges for collectors of the Constellation is sourcing a quality bracelet.  Many today are found on leather straps, but a watch like this is really at home on a Beads of Rice.

I thought Constellation owners needed an option that would match the vintage charm of the watch.  Nice and incredibly lightweight, with period correct vintage pressure clasp and hollow end links, this option is sure to get that Omega back in regular rotation!

    Processing, Tracking & Insurance

    Please allow 1-2 days for processing time.  All of our shipping options include tracking and insurance. First Class International may have limited tracking options depending on destination. 

    PLEASE NOTE: If you are an international customer and you chose USPS as the carrier, it is common for the package to sit for 2-3 weeks at a distribution center in Los Angeles. Nothing is wrong and it is not lost. This is where they wait for flights. If you prefer something faster, please select Fedex, which is 3-5 days to your door.

    Customs

    As of July 1, 2021, all orders shipped to the EU will require a value added tax (VAT) to be paid by the recipient at time of delivery.  Other international orders may require a customs duty once reaching their destination. These fees are a separate charge often imposed by the destination country or region and are not the responsibility of Uncle Seiko.

    PLEASE NOTE:  I am aware that many countries charge a large import fee on top of the purchase price. This money is collected at the time of delivery and has nothing to do with Uncle Seiko Straps. Because the fees are based on the price of the item, it is advantageous for buyers to request a lower price recorded on the customs form. However, I cannot alter the price. In the U.S. it is considered a crime (mail fraud). Thank you for understanding. 

    German Customers

    When USPS packages arrive at the customs office in your country, they are marked as delivered. What typically happens is that within the next few days, they contact you to pay import fees to receive the package. If you have not received your package and it shows as delivered, do not be alarmed, as they should be contacting you soon. 

    Return Policy

    Returns

    We want you to be happy with your purchase, so we aim to provide flexibility with returns.  If you received a bracelet or strap that is defective, please email us and we will provide a shipping label for the return.  We will make it right!

    We will notify you as soon as we receive and inspect your return.  Returns are processed in batch once per week (usually on Saturdays).  If everything is accurate, you will be automatically refunded on your original payment method.
