Omega Constellation “C” 168.017 from 1969
The Constellation line 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 case shape is referred to as "C Shape" on this reference, a variant of the cushion case. A brushed bezel and chamfers are also part of the design and give a beautiful play of light to the whole.
