This compact and classic Omega Constellation automatic chronometer has everything you want in a vintage dress watch: 34 mm gold-capped case, center seconds, an elegant silver sunburst dial, and the iconic “dog leg” lugs that define the reference 168.005. First released in 1952, the Constellation was Omega’s direct competitor to the Rolex Datejust—combining chronometer-grade accuracy with timeless design.
Well-proportioned and distinctly mid-century, this Constellation features a screw-down case back, Omega’s in-house automatic chronometer Caliber 561, and beautifully sculpted lugs that give it a presence well beyond its dimensions.
