Omega Constellation 168.017 Automatic Calibre 564 1968
Omega Constellation 168.017 – Dating to 1968, this is a fine example of one of Omega's most distinctive vintage Constellation references. Featuring the characteristic barrel-shaped case design of the era, a beautifully preserved silver dial and the highly respected Calibre 564 automatic movement, this watch perfectly captures the stylish transition from traditional 1960s dress watches to the more contemporary forms that would define the following decade.
Presented in fine working order and having passed through our workshop, this attractive Constellation is fitted with a new high-quality leather strap in unworn condition. The watch remains exceptionally well preserved throughout, with a particularly impressive dial and case that are becoming increasingly difficult to find in such condition.
