·Up for sale is a beautiful, completely honest, and original stainless steel Omega Constellation from 1963. This is the sunburst domed dial variant of the iconic reference 168.005. It features the legendary, sharp "dog-leg" lugs and comes fitted on its authentic vintage Omega stainless steel Beads of Rice bracelet setup.
Please review the complete breakdown of its condition, faults, and highlights below.
✨ Highlights & Key Features:
* Pristine Original Dial and original Omega signed crystal: The silver sunburst domed dial is the standout feature of this watch. It is completely untouched. It shows an incredibly clean, uniform, and crisp text printing and beautiful applied faceted markers and logo.
* Case Geometry: The iconic "dog-leg" lug facets are distinct and sharp, showing that the case has not been aggressively over-polished over the decades like many vintage examples. Slight rounding in a few areas but most facets remain nice and crisp.
* Movement: Powered by the 24-jewel automatic Chronometer Caliber 561. The movement is visually very clean with no signs of moisture ingress or corrosion and was last serviced in 2021 and still running strong at +9 seconds
* Fully Correct, Factory Bracelet Setup: Fitted on its period-correct Omega stainless steel 5-row Beads of Rice 1036 bracelet with the correct, factory-matching No. 11 end-links perfectly suited for the 18mm dog-leg case profile.
🔍 Noted Faults & Condition Considerations:
To ensure absolute transparency, please note the following points:
1. Case Back Scratch: There are a couple of visible scratches on the case back I'm guessing from a slipped tool from someone trying to open it once upon a time.
2. Service History: The watch runs and ticks smoothly, and was last serviced in 2021 and is currently running +9 seconds
3. Cosmetic Wear: The case, and bracelet have fine hairline scratches and signs of honest wear consistent with a 60+ year-old vintage piece.
4. Water Resistance: Like all vintage watches, this piece should be treated as not waterproof. It had its seals replaced when it was serviced but there is no guarantee with a watch this old.
## Technical Specs:
