Description from the seller
Omega Constellation “C-Shape” Automatic Chronometer – Ref. 168.017 | Cal. 564
An iconic chapter in Omega design history, the legendary Constellation “C-Shape” was created during the golden era of late 1960s watchmaking and remains one of the most recognizable vintage Omega case designs ever produced. Designed with its flowing tonneau-inspired silhouette and elegant integrated lugs, the reference 168.017 perfectly blends sporty proportions with refined chronometer-grade sophistication.
Powered by the highly respected Omega Calibre 564 chronometer movement, this Constellation represents the peak of Omega’s classic automatic dress watches before the quartz era transformed the industry. The striking black dial paired with warm gold-tone details creates a bold and luxurious contrast rarely found in surviving examples today.
A true collector’s piece for enthusiasts seeking an elegant vintage Omega with historical importance, chronometer certification, and unmistakable 1960’s character.
Important Note: High-resolution images may exaggerate minor imperfections not visible to the naked eye.
