Omega Constellation “C” 168.0056 from 1973
The Constellation range appeared at Omega in 1952. The movements are certified chronometers and the case backs are engraved with the image of the Geneva Observatory as well as eight stars.
The shape of the case is called "C Shape" on this reference, a variant of the cushion case. A brushed bezel and chamfers are also part of it and give a beautiful play of light to the whole.
