A watch for connoisseurs who appreciate a stealthy wrist presence.

This exceptional timepiece comes with its original Constellation box and was serviced at Omega in 2023 (€790) and has been stored in the safe ever since. We find this watch to be in superbly well-preserved condition. The immaculate white gold sunburst dial enhances its vintage charm and distinctive 1970s aesthetic. It features an applied Omega logo and signature, complemented by onyx inlay ‘gold-bar’ hour markers. The original, scratch-free Omega plexiglass crystal includes a date cyclops positioned on the inside. The case retains its elegant brushed finish on the signature C-style casing. The screw-down case back shows some minor scratches (see pictures). Distinct Omega, reference and gold hallmarks on the inside case back. Powered by the automatic Caliber 564, keeping accurate time.
