The Omega Constellation Date 168.005 is one of the most iconic vintage dress watches ever produced by Omega. Introduced during the golden era of Swiss watchmaking, this reference is celebrated for its distinctive 12-sided "Pie Pan" dial, elegant dog-leg lugs, and chronometer-certified movement. Designed with timeless proportions and understated sophistication, the Constellation 168.005 remains one of the most sought-after vintage Omega references among collectors today.
Powering this reference is the Omega Calibre 561, a chronometer-certified automatic movement regarded as one of Omega's finest in-house calibres of the 1960s. Featuring 24 jewels and a quick-set date function via repeated crown cycling, the Calibre 561 earned an outstanding reputation for precision, reliability, and refined engineering. It represents the pinnacle of Omega's pre-quartz mechanical watchmaking and remains highly respected by enthusiasts today.
