Constellation Chronometer Gold Champagne Dial German Day-Date

Omega Constellation Chronometer Ref. 168.016 – Champagne and the Weekday in German

The Omega Constellation Chronometer Ref. 168.016 dates from 1970 and comes in a 35 mm gold-plated case. The champagne dial and the German day-date display give it a calm, warm presence. The watch has recently been serviced and now runs very steadily with the Omega Cal. 751.

Champagne Dial, Day-Date and Fresh Technical Work

The Constellation is one of Omega's well-known lines and stands for automatic chronometer watches. On this reference, the warm champagne of the dial combines with the gold-coloured case to form a harmonious whole. The weekday and date display, here in German, makes the watch practical for everyday wear.

A good deal has been done to the watch: the movement was cleaned, oiled and regulated. The measured values are +2 seconds per day with an amplitude of 235°, and the power reserve is 50 hours. The case was professionally cleaned and checked and polished to a high shine, and the bezel was likewise brought to a high polish. The acrylic crystal is newly fitted and therefore is not the original crystal. A new leather strap with a length of 23.5 cm completes the watch.
