The Constellation "C-Case" is among the most recognisable Omega designs of the 1970s — a watch that captures the decade's confidence in steel and integrated bracelets with quiet authority. The C-shape of the case, with its distinctive cushion-like profile and integrated bracelet flowing directly from the lugs, was a deliberate departure from the more classical Constellation of the 1960s. It has since become a collector favourite, appreciated precisely for what made it unconventional at the time.

Reference 168.017 wears the full Constellation identity: a creamy ivory dial with applied baton indices, the signature star at 6 o'clock, and the chronometer designation printed above — a reminder that every Constellation left the factory as a certified COSC-grade timekeeper. The date aperture at 3 o'clock sits neatly within the overall composition.

This example presents in excellent unpolished condition, retaining its original case surfaces and wearing its age with integrity. The original brick bracelet — so often stretched or replaced on examples of this era — is present and correct.

A thoroughly wearable piece of 1970s Omega, honest and complete.

Omega

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. In 1894, Omega revolutionized watchmaking with the introduction of the 19-ligne "Omega" caliber, known for its groundbreaking precision and ease of repair. This innovation marked a turning point for the company, which was soon renamed "Omega" in recognition of the caliber's success.

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.
