Omega Constellation Automatic “C-Shape” | Cal. 565 | Ref. 166.017 | Professionally Repainted Dial

The Omega Constellation Ref. 166.017, commonly known among collectors as the “C-Shape” Constellation, was designed by the legendary Gérald Genta and introduced in the late 1960s. Its flowing tonneau-shaped case became one of Omega’s most iconic designs, perfectly blending elegance with modern styling. Powered by the highly respected Omega Calibre 565, a chronometer-certified automatic movement, the reference remains one of the most desirable vintage Constellation models thanks to its exceptional reliability, refined proportions, and historical significance.

Important Note: High-resolution images may exaggerate minor imperfections not visible to the naked eye.
