Omega
For sale is a Swiss Made Omega Constellation Automatic Chronometer men's watch with reference number 168.005, which can be dated back to around 1963 based on its serial number. This iconic Omega - designed by Gerald Genta - is known by Omega enthusiasts as the "Pie Pan", referring to the protruding 12-faceted dial. Said dial comes in a creamy silver sunburst finish, with gold tone dauphine hands indicating the time on raised indices. A calendar window can be found at the 3 O'Clock position, magnified by the subtle loupe of the original Omega crystal.
The watch features a slender gold capped case which measures 34mm in diameter and is just above 11mm thick. The lug design is referred to as "Dog Leg" among Omega enthousiasts, due to its shape somewhat resembling that of a dog's rear legs. Inside the watch we find a renowned caliber 561 automatic movement, which is perfectly keeping time. Keeping all of this safe is a screw-in stainless steel case back featuring the gold ‘Observatory of Geneva’ medallion with its eight stars. A brown strap with contrasting stitching and generic buckle comes fitted to the watch, ready to wear.
The example sold here has been worn, but is in good condition considering its age. You will find some wear marks on the case and lugs, but no overly coarse damage. The case has been cleaned thoroughly, but left unpolished to maintain its original edges and curves. The crystal has been replaced with an original example, which bears the Omega hallmark in the center as well as a loupe above the calendar window. The crown is original and signed with the Omega logo. The dial and hands show slight signs of aging here and there, but are generally in wonderful condition still. The movement was freshly serviced, and is working perfectly. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Accompanying the watch is an original Omega presentation box: sadly no paperwork is present with this piece.
Your newly acquired timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
