The Omega Constellation Ref. 168.005 is one of the most celebrated vintage Constellations, thanks to its iconic pie pan dial and elegant dog leg lugs. This 1967 example is especially remarkable, preserved in New Old Stock (NOS) condition with the original factory blue Omega seal still intact on the caseback—an extraordinary survival for a watch over half a century old.

The rare silver pie pan dial features applied black onyx markers and matching hands, adding sharp contrast and legibility while elevating the luxury feel of the design. At its heart is the chronometer-certified Calibre 564 with quickset date, considered one of Omega’s finest automatic movements, known for both reliability and precision.

As the flagship line of Omega during the 1960s, the Constellation was positioned at the very top of their range, ahead of the Seamaster and Genève, and rivalled only by the most prestigious Swiss dress watches of the period. Today, while the Constellation continues as a modern collection, it is these vintage pie pan references that are most coveted among collectors—valued for their timeless design, horological significance, and enduring desirability.
