This watch traveled the world with my father. He was a Protestant missionary, mostly in South America, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay (where I was born), Argentina and many other countries. I’m also certain this Constellation traveled a lot on Lockheed Constellations!
Here is a photo of W. Ronald Denton, missionary, explorer, forward-thinker – aboard Moore-McCormick Lines SS Argentina in 1969 from Montevideo, Uruguay to New York, New York. His Omega watch is hidden under his cool sweater.
You can see he is wearing the Constellation in this photo taken with my mother Sarah in Mexico in 1970
