The Omega Constellation Ref. 168.017 features the Gérald Genta–designed “C-shape case” and was produced from the 1960s into the early 1970s. With a case diameter of approximately 34 mm, the integrated and flowing form characteristic of the C-shape design reflects Genta’s preference for sporty and cohesive aesthetics. Despite its compact size, the watch offers a balanced presence with adequate thickness and wrist appeal.
The watch is powered by the chronometer-certified automatic Caliber 564. This high-grade movement includes a quick-set date mechanism and was widely used in Constellation models of the same era. It is well regarded for its accuracy, durability, and overall reliability.
The dial features a sunburst finish paired with baton indexes and matching hands, creating a clean and highly legible layout. The screw-down caseback is fitted with the signature Observatory medallion, a hallmark of the Constellation line. The overall construction is solid, making the watch suitable for regular daily use.
