    Details

    Dial / Crystal/ Crown: Beautiful silver Omega signed dial. Raised hour markers and Omega symbol. Mineral crystal. Omega signed crown.

    Movement: Omega cal. 1011 automatic chronometer.

    Case: Unpolished stainless steel case displays sharp beveled edges. Bezel is 18 carat gold. Watch measures 38mm x 42mm in diameter. Well defined observatory on caseback.

    Bracelet: Omega signed integrated bracelet. No stretch. Clasp number 1235/226 (37).

    Accessories: None

    Condition: Upon seeing this 40+ year old timepiece one could mistake it for NOS. With scrutiny one can see a single very light scratch on the mineral crystal edge near the date window and some very minor scuffs and pin-sized indentations on the case. The brushed/textured finish on the case and bracelet is distinctive and nearly perfect. The dial is a standout and looks flawless. The watch is currently keeping very good time although its service history for this watch is unknown.

    Notes: A timepiece of substance both in its weight and sheer wrist presence, this Constellation is a fantastic example of Omega’s 70’s design aesthetic...not your typical “Connie.” Further, the integrated bracelet concept of the Ref. 168.0062 / 368.0855 bares a striking resemblance to the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak designed by the great Gerald Genta. To my knowledge it’s never been confirmed, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Mr. Genta had a hand in the Ref. 168.0062 / 368.0855 as well.
