We are proud to present this iconic Omega Constellation, the renowned reference 168.005 in solid 18K yellow gold. A cornerstone of vintage Omega collecting, this timepiece is a testament to the brand's mastery in combining precision engineering with timeless design.
The Pie Pan dial, crafted from 18K gold, is in spotless condition, immediately drawing the eye with its unique stepped design. On the reverse, the dial bears the hallmark of Z.J., one of Omega's trusted dial makers, further authenticating its originality.
The 34mm 18K yellow gold case has been carefully preserved, showcasing the crisp angles of the distinctive dog-leg lugs—a defining feature of this reference. On the case back, the observatory emblem with its eight stars stands as a proud symbol of Omega’s chronometer heritage, reflecting the brand’s commitment to excellence in precision timekeeping.
Inside this Constellation is the renowned Caliber 561, a chronometer-graded automatic movement designed for accuracy and reliability. Bearing a serial number of 20.9 million, it confirms production in 1963. Recently inspected by our expert watchmaker, this movement is in excellent condition, ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
