Omega - Constellation “C”Shape Automatic Chronometer Cal.564 - 168.017 - Men - 1968

【Description】

This is the OMEGA Constellation, an automatic chronometer. The dial bears the inscription "AUTOMATIC CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED." The movement is engraved "ADJUSTED FIVE (5) POSITIONS AND TEMPERATURE," marking this as a chronometer-grade model adjusted to five positions and temperature.

The case features a distinctive form with integrated lugs and is constructed in gold cap and stainless steel. The silver sunburst dial combines baton hour markers with baton hands in a simple layout, with the Ω logo, the script "Constellation," and the star emblem dividing the center above and below. It is an understated dress watch that pairs easily with suits and jacket styles.

The movement is OMEGA's automatic caliber Cal. 564, with 24 jewels, and it also supports manual winding. It features a date display at the 3 o'clock position and a quick-change mechanism that advances the date via crown operation. The center of the case back is decorated with the observatory and stars medallion, the emblem of the Constellation.

The bracelet is a genuine OMEGA Ref. 1040, fitted with 518 end links matched to the case. The crystal and crown are also genuine parts.
