-Description

The history of Omega began in 1848, when watchmaker Louis Brandt established a workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The name Omega was given to a high-quality movement introduced in 1894.

The Constellation is Omega's luxury line, with an elegant design and a high-precision movement featuring an engraving of the observatory on the back cover. Today, the collection is more like a dress watch.

This Ref. 168.009/168.017 is a dress watch with an 18K yellow gold C-line case, a linen textured dial, and a braided yellow gold bracelet.

The C-line case is the early work of Gerald Genta, the watch designer who designed the Royal Oak by Audemapiget and the Nautilus by Patek Philippe.

The watch reflects his philosophy that "a design that gets caught on the sleeve of a shirt is not a good design.

The crown and plexi crystal are marked with the Ω mark, a sign of genuine parts.

The dial is a champagne gold linen texured dial in the same color as the case. The design looks like a textile woven with thin threads. The center of the bar indexes and the pencil hands are painted black to make the time easier to read.

The movement is a self-winding Cal.564, a typical Omega movement from the 1960s with chronometer certification. 

The bracelet is a braided bracelet stamped 1061/111 and hallmarked in 18K gold. The bracelet is very fine grained, so it fits the wrist very well.

18K yellow gold Constellation watches are not particularly rare, but they are much less common when they come with genuine 18K bracelet. In addition, the case, dial, movement, and bracelet are all in excellent condition, which makes this watch a great value.
