Omega Constellation Ref. 168.005

A reference that needs no introduction, yet still manages to surprise when found in this state. This Omega Constellation Pie-Pan ref. 168.005 from 1966 represents the absolute peak of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, when precision was not a claim but a proven fact.

The white pie-pan dial is original and beautifully preserved, with sharp facets, perfectly balanced printing and that unmistakable three-dimensional architecture that made this reference an icon. The applied indexes, the star, and the Omega logo retain their original definition, untouched and honest. No restoration tricks, no cosmetic shortcuts.

The “incamiciato” gold case is crisp, with clean lines and correct proportions, offering the elegance of gold with the restraint that made these watches daily companions of engineers, executives and professionals who valued substance over show. Inside beats the legendary automatic chronometer movement, adjusted to the highest standards of the era and still delivering remarkable performance today.

What truly elevates this example is the overall coherence: incredible conditions throughout, correct original gold buckle, and the presence of the original box — elements that are increasingly rare and impossible to fake convincingly. This is not just a vintage Omega; it is a reference point.

A serious Constellation for serious collectors. Quiet, authoritative, and historically correct.
