Step into a rare chapter of horological history with this breathtaking Omega Constellation “MEISTER” Ref. 168.018. A near mint example of the prestigious Constellation line, this 1960s masterpiece is elevated to collector-grade status by its double-signature dial—bearing the iconic “MEISTER” co-signed for the legendary Zurich retailer. Such retailer-signed examples are highly sought after and seldom surface in this outstanding condition, blending the precision of Omega with the cachet of one of Switzerland’s most renowned jewelers. With its robust 35mm gold-capped case, striking dial, and the revered Cal. 564 chronometer movement performing strongly at 9-12 s/d, this Constellation isn’t just a watch—it's a conversation piece, a rarity, and a certified investment for the discerning collector.

Dial and Hands
The dial is an exceptional silver sunburst finish with impeccably preserved applied gold indices and matching faceted hands. The rarity lies in the prominent double signature—“MEISTER”—adding significant vintage appeal and provenance. The  original tritium plots remain intact, showing only the most gentle signs of age, a testament to this watch's careful preservation.

Case and Crystal
The case retains its sharp, crisp lines and factory brushing, with the gold-capped surfaces showing minimal wear and perfectly defined lugs. All hallmarks are deep and clear. The fluted bezel glows with a rich gold tone, while the caseback features the iconic Observatory medallion in sharp relief. The crystal is clean and free from distraction, offering a pristine window to the stunning dial.

Movement
Powered by the legendary Omega Cal. 564 automatic chronometer, this Constellation offers both precision and reliability. The quickset date function is smooth, and the watch is currently running at 9–12 seconds per day with robust amplitude, well within vintage chronometer standards.

Strap
Fitted with a high-quality brown leather strap with matching gold-tone buckle, beautifully complementing the case and dial. The strap is like new and ready for daily or special occasion wear.

Condition
Overall near mint condition. Minimal signs of handling with a razor-sharp case, excellent dial and hands, and a clean movement. Double signature makes it an exceedingly rare find. Watch is running at 9–12 s/d with strong amplitude.

Remarks
This is a golden opportunity to acquire a double-signed Omega Constellation “MEISTER,” seldom seen in this state of preservation. Its rare co-signed dial, outstanding case integrity, and robust chronometer performance place it at the top tier for both historical value and investment potential.

History
The Omega Constellation is an icon, celebrated for its chronometer-grade movements and enduring elegance since its debut in 1952. This Ref. 168.018, produced in the golden era of Swiss watchmaking, is further distinguished by the “MEISTER” double signature—a rare mark denoting retail sale by the famed Zurich jeweler. In such condition, this watch becomes more than a vintage timepiece; it is a statement of taste, an heirloom, and an exceptional opportunity for provenance-driven collectors.
