WHY WE CURATED IT: Much has been said about this landmark Omega Constellation C-Case model line by Gerald Genta. Naturally, we too have much to say about it, so we’ve compiled our research into a deep-dive tribute in a new Articles section on this website. The variant here is a pretty early model from 1968, now almost 60 years old and you’d never guess looking at it! The case is in great shape, with a solid white gold bezel and a slightly warmed frosty/linen dial in the no-lume configuration. The frost texture here is a little different from the other steel 168.029 in this drop… more subtle and even-keeled. The best overall holistic condition from this drop and not to be missed! Paired with its long Omega “brick bracelet” with a new leather strap of your choice thrown in for good measure. Serviced and warrantied.
CONDITION: 9.5/10 with some shallow hairlines and micro-nicks. Dial, hands and indices are clean. Solid white gold bezel remains sharp with barely any marks. Original Omega-signed crystal has microscopic marks visible only under a loupe. Original signed crown. Long original Omega bracelet is worn but usable, however we are including a new leather strap of your choice should you wish to set aside the original bracelet for safekeeping/occasional wear. Movement serviced with 6 months warranty and in excellent health, with to-spec power reserve, high amplitude, negligible beat error and accurate to ±10 secs/day averaged from 6 timegrapher positions.
