Omega Constellation Chronometer Gold with White Dial from 1966 – Ref. 168.005

The Omega Constellation Chronometer Ref. 168.005 from 1966 is a particularly elegant vintage watch with a white dial and classic Constellation design. This specific piece was freshly serviced by us in August 2026 and boasts excellent timekeeping accuracy after the service.

The exceptionally good condition is particularly attractive. The original Omega acrylic crystal is still installed, emphasizing the authenticity and historical character of this Constellation. Additionally, the watch is offered with its original box, original card holder, and instruction manual. This makes it a particularly beautiful set from the 1960s.

An exceptionally beautiful Constellation model

The Constellation is one of the most significant model series in Omega's history. Especially the chronometer models from the 1960s enjoy an excellent reputation among vintage collectors. The combination of the 34mm case, the light dial, and the classic case design makes this reference a timelessly elegant vintage watch.

The white dial is in mint condition and harmonizes perfectly with the watch's classic appearance. The case, bezel, and case back are also in very good condition for a watch over 60 years old.

Newly serviced Omega Caliber 561

Inside, the legendary Omega Caliber 561, an automatic manufacture movement with a power reserve of approximately 50 hours as stated by the manufacturer, is at work. The movement was thoroughly cleaned and oiled, regulated, and subsequently inspected in August 2026.

The Timegrapher readings are extremely convincing: with a rate deviation of just +1 second per day, an amplitude of 238°, and a beat error of only 0.3 ms, the movement shows excellent performance.

Thus, this Constellation combines the charm of a historical Omega chronometer with technically impressive functionality.

Extensive refurbishment and original details

As part of the refurbishment, the movement was cleaned and oiled, regulated, and the entire watch was professionally cleaned and inspected. The case was polished to a high gloss and the bezel was professionally buffed to a high gloss. In addition, a new leather strap was fitted.

The original Omega acrylic crystal has been polished and is still present on the watch. Especially for a vintage watch of this age, the preservation of original components is an important part of its historical character.

Original box and accessories from the 1960s

A special highlight of this offer is the scope of delivery. In addition to the watch, the original Omega box as well as the original card holder and the instruction manual are included. The accessories date from the time of the watch and make the set particularly interesting for collectors.

As expected with accessories from the 1960s, the box and card holder show age-related dust marks and signs of wear. These are to be understood as normal signs of age and fit the authentic overall appearance of the set.
