·For sale is a particularly rare Omega Constellation “Jumbo” ref. 168.001 - the largest vintage Constellation Omega ever produced at 37mm.
I bought it from @MtV back in 2022, an I have been wearing it for special occasions. But now it's time for it to move on. You can check out the original sales post here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...-37mm-vertically-brushed-dial-1650eur.150346/ (Matt's pictures are so much better than mine☺️)

It's a rare watch that very seldom comes up for sale. What makes this watch even more unusual is its vertically brushed silver dial, that gives the structure of the dial a fantastic look that changes from dark to light and vice versa.
Omega Constellation Automatic “Jumbo”:
Condition
An attractive and fully original example throughout.
The rare non-luminous, brushed dial is in a good condition. There are a few spots in the lacquer visible at certain angles, but they are generally unobtrusive in normal wear.
The case remains sharp with defined bevels, a strong observatory medallion, and a caseback with only very minor small scratches, it’s very attractive indeed. It retains its correct original decagonal Omega crown and original Omega crystal.
The cal. 561 movement is clean, original, winds smoothly, keeps good time, and shows healthy power reserve. The watch has not received service in my possesion.
A rare, highly collectible Jumbo Constellation with an uncommon dial configuration and excellent overall originality.
Price: 1650€, bids welcome. No returns. Payment by Wise or bank transfer. Shipping to Europe preferred. The watch is in Denmark.
