AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered here is a stunning example of Omega’s bold 1970s design language: the Constellation 168.044 featuring its elegant silver vertically brushed dial. Under varying light, the dial shifts beautifully across shades of silver and grey, adding character and visual depth. The refined vertical satin finish interacts beautifully with the light—giving this piece excellent wrist presence and vintage charm.

Housed in a 33mm x 40mm tonneau-shaped stainless steel case with an integrated stainless steel bracelet, it delivers that unmistakable retro silhouette while remaining comfortable for daily wear. Inside beats the Omega Caliber 1001 automatic chronometer—officially certified for accuracy and reliability.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or seeking a standout vintage piece, this Constellation blends character, craftsmanship, and collectability in one timeless package.
