The Omega Constellation Ref. 167.005 is widely regarded as one of the purest and most elegant executions of the Constellation line, and this non-date example from 1966 captures everything collectors look for in the model.
Housed in the iconic dog leg lug case, this reference combines sharp architectural lines with refined proportions, giving the watch real presence on the wrist while remaining effortlessly elegant. The absence of a date window allows the silver pie pan dial to remain perfectly symmetrical, a detail that many collectors actively seek and far less commonly encountered than date variants.
Powered by Omega’s calibre 551, this watch represents the brand at its peak, offering chronometer-grade performance, exceptional finishing, and long-term reliability in a beautifully balanced automatic movement.
