Story
The Constellation line was born in 1952 to celebrate Omega's centennial and their dominance at the Geneva Observatory precision trials. This specific reference, the 168.005, is a design masterpiece often associated with the influence of legendary watch designer Gérald Genta.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1848, Omega evolved from a small workshop into the official timekeeper of the Olympics and the choice of NASA.
Condition & Value
The acrylic crystal is heavily scratched and obscured, which is common for vintage pieces but easily fixed by a specialist. The case shows honest wear consistent with age, and the movement appears relatively clean but should be professionally serviced to prevent damage to the vintage lubricants.
