1970s Omega Constellation Ref. 168.017 in 18kt yellow gold

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega has grown to become one of the most renowned and respected names in the world of horology. What began as a small workshop assembling key-wound pocket watches quickly evolved into a global brand synonymous with precision, innovation, and timeless design.

Omega’s reputation for accuracy was further solidified when it became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932, a role it still holds today. The brand’s dedication to precision was also demonstrated in 1969, when the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission.

Over the decades, Omega has introduced iconic collections such as the Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Constellation, blending cutting-edge technology with elegant design. Omega watches are not only known for their technical excellence but also for their association with explorers, athletes, and adventurers who push the limits of human achievement.

This piece is a typical 70s iteration of the Constellation. Coming in the C shaped case designed by Geral Genta, it looks larger and bolder than classic 60s Constellations. Additionally, this very piece comes in great condition, with a perfectly preserved dial, while many dials on these pieces are damaged.

It also comes with a genuine Omega buckle.
