Omega Constellation 168004 Date 1963

Omega Constellation Ref. 168.004 – Classic Chronometer Elegance in 18k Gold (1963)

First introduced in 1952, the Omega Constellation was Omega’s elegant answer to the Rolex Datejust and quickly became one of the brand’s flagship chronometer models.

This beautifully preserved Ref. 168.004 from 1963 embodies everything collectors appreciate about early Constellations. Crafted in a refined 36 mm 18k yellow gold case, the watch offers ideal proportions, enhanced by elegant slightly angled lugs and a classic screw-down caseback.

The flawless silver sunburst dial creates a beautiful contrast against the warm yellow gold case and is complemented by rare slim baton hour markers with onyx inlays, adding subtle depth and sophistication to the overall design.

Inside beats the respected Omega Cal. 561 automatic chronometer, a movement celebrated for its reliability, precision, and smooth operation — representing Omega’s golden era of automatic chronometer production.

Simple, balanced, and timeless, this Constellation is a perfect example of mid-century Omega design at its finest.
