This striking 1963 Omega Constellation ref. 168.004 is a superb representation of Omega’s celebrated chronometer heritage, combining refined craftsmanship with bold vintage character. Its elegant 36mm gold-plated case offers a commanding yet sophisticated wrist presence, finished with the iconic 18k gold Observatory medallion caseback — a hallmark of the Constellation line and Omega’s pursuit of precision excellence.

The standout midnight black dial creates a dramatic and highly collectible aesthetic, beautifully contrasted by warm gold accents that add depth, richness, and exceptional visual balance. Clean lines and classic detailing give the watch a timeless elegance that perfectly captures the spirit of early 1960s Omega design.

At its heart is the renowned automatic Calibre 561 movement, a chronometer-certified movement respected for its reliability, smooth performance, and precision engineering. A true product of Omega’s golden era, it remains one of the brand’s most admired vintage calibres.

Finished on a premium black leather strap with a gold Omega buckle, this Constellation delivers a refined and versatile vintage look suited to both formal occasions and everyday wear. A rare and distinguished Omega that would make an exceptional addition to any serious collection.
