Omega Constellation Automatic DeLuxe Pie Pan – 1962 Dog-Leg Case with Onyx Dial – Museum Quality, Complete Set, NOS
We are honored to present this exceptional Omega Constellation DeLuxe from 1962, an extraordinary untouched time capsule and one of the finest surviving examples of Omega’s most prestigious model line. This piece is in New Old Stock (NOS) condition—never worn, like new, and accompanied by its full original set, making it an extraordinary opportunity for the connoisseur or Omega purist.
Historical Prestige & Design
This Omega Constellation DeLuxe belongs to the golden age of Omega’s watchmaking and represents the pinnacle of mid-century design and mechanical excellence. The 1962 reference 168.005 combines the revered “dog leg” lug case design by Gerald Genta with the iconic “pie pan” dial layout—here executed in solid 18K yellow gold and enhanced with rare onyx inlaid hour markers, a distinguishing feature of the most luxurious Constellation variants.
This is the DeLuxe model—Omega's highest grade for Constellation dress watches in the early 1960s—and it originally commanded one of the highest prices in the brand’s catalog at the time. The movement within, the Chronometer-certified Caliber 561, underscores its elite status and precision heritage.
