My one and only Constellation, I’ve got 5 Seamasters but this Constellation was my first vintage Omega and infact my first Omega.

Love this watch and currently wearing it today.

168018 with a Cal 564 movement

Very nice @cristos71 , is it the two tone dial?

I think these are all slightly two tone, there is certainly a different finish to the outside edge which gives a TT effect

Very nice.
Is this a Swiss case or perhaps French or English?
A pic of the medallion is a quick tell.

definitely looks Swiss to me.
the observatory and stars are a standard classic and it has the double tell tale Swiss hallmarks on the lugs.
(the groove around the brushed ring around the medallion appears to be a 'solid gold case' thing)

I only asked because, in the first pics, the lugs looked slim and didn't appear to have the slanted ends - but it must have been the angle because you can actually see the slanted ends in the rear image



I said it before and I'll say it again - very nice
(BTW - as a deluxe - it is a 168.014)

Ref is 168.004

does it not say 168.004/14 in the case back?
A deluxe watch (gold case and gold dial) has its own specific reference.

Pics of the movement and inner caseback would be great if you have them - we could see the case makers mark then too.

so, the standard for this case style is reference 168.004 (steel, gold cap and solid gold)
but the deluxe solid gold version with gold dial is ref 168.014.
Purely for efficiency, since the cases are otherwise identical, they added the double reference code into the solid gold caseback rather than producing solid gold 168.004 cases and separate deluxe solid gold 168.014 cases

Dome Dial Dogleg ref. 167.005 Cal. 551

Have owned this for about a year now, and it is still one of my favorite watches. Was looking for a Pie Pan, but couldn't say no when I found this in a local auction. Still on the hunt for the Pie Pan, but this scratched the itch a little.

Very nice indeed ! I'd be grateful if you could give me both refs of the end links and bracelet ; they seem pretty well aligned with the doglegs, and this is not so often seen on dog leg Connies.
