Omega
€0.00
For sale is a Swiss Made Omega Constellation Automatic Chronometer men's watch with reference number 168.004, which can be dated back to around 1963. 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 two-tone silver finish, with the outer portion looking just a bit more "champagne" under the right light conditions. On top of being a Pie-Pan, the dial is also referenced to as "cross-haired": thin so-called crosshair lines divide the dial in four quarters. Around the outer rim, gold-coloured indexes indicate the hour marks. At the 3O'Clock position, a calendar window can be found. The Dauphine hands are finished in a matching gold tone, and the second hand is of the sweeping kind.
The case of this timepiece is made from stainless steel, which is in original and unpolished state. The crown is original bearing the Omega logo, and is of the hidden type: when viewing the watch from the front, the crown is almost invisible as it lays recessed inside the case. With said crown, the date can be set more conveniently by alternating between 21 and 24h. 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 ‘Observatory of Geneva’ case back with its eight stars. A dark brown strap with white stitching and original Omega buckle comes fitted to the watch.
The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in wonderful condition considering its age. You will find some marks on the case when closely examining the watch. The case is unpolished and therefore in original shape. The glass has been replaced with an original example, which bears the Omega hallmark in the center and is free of any damage. 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. Functionally, the watch has been serviced prior to sale and is working perfectly.
The watch comes without any paperwork or original box, but evidently we will provide a generic box to ship it to the buyer safe and sound. The item ships from Belgium and will be securely packaged and dispatched using the local postal service (BPost).
