Dial and Hands  
The original silver dial is beautifully preserved, displaying a radiant sunburst finish that dances with the light. Slim, faceted indices and an applied Omega logo complement the sharp dauphine-style hands, all in superb condition. The date window at 3 o’clock adds practical sophistication, and the iconic Constellation star above 6 o’clock stands as an enduring mark of quality.

Case and Crystal  
The stainless steel case with lyre lugs remains remarkably sharp, with strong edges and full lugs that highlight the iconic silhouette. The Observatory medallion on the case back is sharply defined, symbolizing Omega’s pursuit of accuracy. The acrylic crystal is clear and unmarred, offering an uninterrupted view of the exquisite dial beneath.

History  
First launched in the early 1950s, the Omega Constellation series swiftly claimed its place as Omega’s premier line of precision chronometers. The later 1960s saw the introduction of the sleek, lyre-lug case and sophisticated sunburst dials. Reference 168.015 is the embodiment of this celebrated era, powered by the robust Caliber 564—a movement cherished by connoisseurs for its blend of accuracy and durability. Owning this Constellation is more than acquiring a watch; it is possessing an enduring symbol of Swiss luxury and heritage.
