Omega Constellation 168.005 'Pie-Pan Dog Leg' (Ca.1966)

The Omega Constellation is perhaps one of the most refined models in the collection, with a wide variety of executions. This model was launched by Omega in 1952. The name refers to a constellation that moves consistently and predictably. A beautiful symbol of the reliability of the timepieces in this series!

Omega broke every precision record at the Geneva Observatory, creating a strong bond with astronomy. This connection is also reflected in the logo of the Constellation series: an image of the Geneva Observatory, surrounded by eight stars symbolizing Omega’s greatest chronometric achievements. This iconic logo is often found on the back of the case, while a single star adorns the dial.

The fully original vintage Omega Constellation 168.005 that we have here dates from around 1966. The watch is made of steel and features a beautiful silver Pie-Pan dial, which creates a lovely depth when viewed from different angles. The so-called baton hour markers are filled with onyx, a natural black gemstone known for its smooth and shiny finish. This combination makes this Omega Constellation watch a real eye-catcher!

What also makes us very happy is the steel case with the iconic 'dog leg' lugs, both of which are still beautifully sharp and in perfect condition, making all original angles and lines perfectly visible. Additionally, this vintage Omega Constellation 168.005 is equipped with a new brown / cognac-colored leather strap. The Omega 561 movement has recently undergone a full service. Of course, the Omega winding crown is also original and correct for the period of the watch.

This beautiful vintage Omega Constellation Pie-Pan Dog Leg 168.005 comes with a 24-month warranty on the movement rated 10 over 10.

Omega

La Generale Watch Co., the parent company of Omega, was founded in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland, by 23-year-old Louis Brandt, who was assembling watches. In 1866, Louis Brandt passed away, and the business was continued by his two sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar, who decided to have the assembly done at one location. The brothers made enormous strides forward, and in 1894, they launched a new caliber: the famous 19-line caliber. The caliber was so precise and successful that the brothers decided to change their company name to "Omega Watch Co." in 1903. Since 1998, Omega has been owned by the Swatch Group under the name Omega SA.
