Case Size: 34mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1960s

Dial and Hands
The silver sunburst dial is exceptionally well preserved, presenting a clean surface with no visible spotting or damage. It features applied indices with black inserts, an applied Omega logo, and an applied Constellation star, providing excellent depth and texture. The matching dauphine hands also carry black inserts and remain in clean condition, showing no visible oxidation.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case showcases the iconic C-shape geometry, with a smooth integrated bezel. The surfaces display honest wear, characterized by light surface scratches and minor handling wear throughout. The knurled crown is clearly signed with the Omega logo. On the reverse, the caseback bears a crisp observatory medallion alongside the factory engraving "168.015 - TOOL 105". A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, remaining clear with no major scratches or crazing visible.
Movement
Powered by an automatic movement, this Constellation operates at +9+10s/day on the timegrapher. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is fitted with its original signed black leather strap, marked OMEGA on the inner lining, and secured by a signed Omega buckle. The strap shows moderate wear and creasing, retaining the character of a complete original set.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The dial and hands are beautifully preserved, while the stainless steel case and integrated bezel show honest, age-related wear. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, and the original leather strap displays moderate creasing from use. Supported by the recorded timegrapher results, the movement is performing brilliantly.
Dimensions
The case measures 34mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This Constellation is distinguished by its distinctive C-shape case design, crisp silver sunburst dial, and the desirable presence of its original signed Omega leather strap and buckle. It is a highly cohesive and attractive vintage example.
History
The Omega Constellation has long been recognized as a flagship model for the brand, particularly renowned for its precision and elegant styling. During the 1960s, the introduction of the C-shape case design brought a modernized, integrated profile to the Constellation line. These models are notable for their applied metal dial furniture, including the applied Omega logo and Constellation star, which add distinct visual refinement. Today, the classic C-shape Constellation remains a highly sought-after vintage Omega model with strong collector appeal.
