The Omega Constellation C-Shape represents one of the most interesting chapters in 1960s watch design. Its lines are attributed to the legendary Gérald Genta, who years later would sign some of the most iconic watches in haute horlogerie. The distinctive C-Shape case, with its continuous curves and striking presence on the wrist, conveys an aesthetic that remains elegant and contemporary even decades later.
In this example, the main protagonist is the beautiful textured silver dial, original and without any restoration, preserving its authenticity after more than five decades. The texture takes on different nuances depending on the light, while the applied markers, the Constellation star at 6 o'clock, and the natural patina reinforce its genuinely vintage character.
The set is complemented by the original Omega steel bracelet, perfectly integrated with the shapes of the case. Inside is the celebrated Omega 564 caliber, an automatic movement certified as a chronometer, with 24 rubies and quick-set date, belonging to one of the most respected families of movements produced by the manufacture.
For transparency and respect for the history of the piece, we highlight that the case back was replaced at some point in its history, currently being an Omega case back engraved with the reference ST 168.0056. A duly informed particularity, without diminishing the charm of a Constellation that brings together historic design, an original dial, an original bracelet, and one of Omega's great automatic calibers.
