Omega Constellation 168.0056 Automatic Gold-Plated 1971
Omega Constellation 168.0056 – A stylish and increasingly collectible example of Omega's early 1970s design language, featuring the distinctive barrel-shaped case that defined the era. Dating to 1971 based on its serial number, this attractive Constellation pairs a gold-plated tonneau case with a champagne dial, baton hour markers and a date display at 3 o'clock, creating a versatile vintage aesthetic that remains as appealing today as when it was first produced.
Presented in excellent working order and having benefited from an in-house service in August 2026, this example is fitted with a new unworn black ostrich strap and offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-preserved vintage Omega from one of the brand's most popular collections.
