The Omega Constellation Ref.168.005 features the signature dog-leg case design that defines the Constellation line of the 1960s. The sharply faceted case measures approximately 34 mm, offering a refined yet noticeable presence on the wrist.
This example is fitted with a black mirror dial finished in glossy lacquer. The dial shows even, attractive aging characteristic of vintage mirror dials, giving it a distinctive depth and character. Some lume loss is visible on the hour markers, yet the overall appearance remains cohesive and highly appealing.
Powering the watch is the chronometer-rated automatic Caliber 564, a high-grade movement widely used in Constellation models of the same era. It features a quick-set date mechanism and is well regarded for its reliability, durability, and consistent performance.
The screw-down caseback is fitted with the emblematic Observatory medallion, a hallmark of the Constellation series. The watch comes on the original Omega bracelet, Ref.1037 / 570, which complements the case design and completes the vintage aesthetic.
A desirable configuration combining the dog-leg case with a black mirror dial, this example stands out as a particularly striking variant of the 168.005 reference.
