Omega Constellation C Shape 168.0056 from 1973
The Constellation range appeared at Omega in 1952. The movements are chronometer certified 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 variation of the cushion case. A brushed bezel and chamfers are also included and give a beautiful play of light to the whole.
