History & Significance
The Constellation line has been Omega’s flagship chronometer series since the 1950s, known for its precision ratings and distinctive star at six o’clock. By the late 1960s Omega introduced the “C-case” Constellation, a modernized design with an integrated profile, sharper geometry, and hidden lugs. These models have become an important chapter in the evolution of the Constellation as Omega shifted toward more architectural styling.
Reference 168.027 is part of that early C-case generation and houses Omega’s chronometer-rated caliber 564, one of the brand’s most respected automatic movements from the era. This example features a clean silver dial with applied indexes and its original fluted bezel, paired with an Omega beads-of-rice bracelet for a cohesive period-correct look.
Writer’s Thoughts
A great everyday Omega for someone who wants a chronometer-rated vintage piece with personality but without the bulk of later sports watches. The C-case wears flat and balanced on the wrist, and the original bracelet adds a lot of charm.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This Omega is offered in original condition, representing an uncommon and stylish take on one of Omega’s most iconic model families.
