Omega Constellation C Shape Blue 168.0056 early 1970
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.

Condition : Superb condition, only the dial has a few defects. The blue dial was manufactured by Beyeler (subcontractor Rolex, Omega, etc.) but remains in superb condition when compared to the other examples. Very good condition for its 50 years. The movement has been completely overhauled, this Omega works perfectly.
