Description
Beneath the dial of this wonderful Omega Constellation beats the Omega Caliber 1001, a noteworthy movement introduced in the late 1960s that was designed for accuracy and longevity. The automatic caliber boasts 20 jewels and is equipped with a quick-set date feature, a technical advancement for its time. As a certified chronometer, this watch passed the rigorous precision tests Omega subjected its flagship Constellations to, ensuring exceptional accuracy.
The case design, with its pronounced, slightly tonneau shape, captures the era’s move toward more daring styles while retaining the classical charm Omega is known for. The slim profile and brushed finishing further enhance its elegant appeal. The distinct Constellation emblem on the case back serves as a subtle nod to Omega’s legacy of precision timekeeping and its illustrious history in crafting chronometers.
This particular ref. 168.044 is not just a watch, but a piece of Omega’s storied history—ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
