DESCRIPTION

This estate Omega Constellation Ref. 168.004 dates to approximately the mid-1960s and represents one of the most respected Swiss automatic chronometers of its era. The watch features a tested 14K yellow gold bezel, a gold-capped stainless-steel case, and the iconic stainless-steel caseback bearing Omega's signature Constellation observatory medallion.

Powered by the Omega Caliber 561 automatic movement with 24 jewels and chronometer certification, the watch retains its original vintage dial with attractive age-related patina and spotting that give it genuine period character. It is fitted with a brown genuine leather replacement strap.
