Omega Constellation Chronometer Silver Dial 1966 (Ref. 168.004) – Mint condition, freshly serviced

Omega Constellation Chronometer Silver Dial (1966) – Combining Mint Condition and Precision

The Constellation was Omega's answer to the demand for maximum accuracy: every model bearing the "Chronometer" designation once had to pass an official inspection before leaving the factory. This 1966 version is presented today – freshly serviced in September 2026 – in an exceptionally rare condition that barely reveals its age.

A timepiece in consistent mint condition

The case, bezel, and crystal of this Constellation are all in mint condition – a remarkable result for a watch over 55 years old. The silver dial is also in very good condition and completes the exceptionally well-maintained overall impression. Before sale, the case was high-polished, the bezel was buffed to a high gloss, and the acrylic crystal was freshly polished, ensuring it also shines in mint condition. The appearance is complemented by a new leather strap as well as an additional strap in like-new condition.

Freshly serviced – a chronometer-certified automatic movement

In September 2026, the watch underwent a complete overhaul by our watchmaker: the movement was cleaned, oiled, and regulated. Inside, the Omega caliber 561 – a chronometer-certified automatic movement – is at work. The test results after the service confirm its very good condition:

  • Power reserve (manufacturer specification): 50 hours
  • Rate deviation: +5 seconds/day
  • Amplitude: 269°
  • Beat error: 0.0 ms

A beat error of 0.0 ms with a solid amplitude shows: this movement runs smoothly and reliably – entirely in keeping with the chronometer standards for which the Constellation became famous.
