1973 Omega Constellation ref. 168.0056 – Gold-Capped Case w/ Solid Gold Bezel & Medallion – Cal. 1011 Chronometer – Serviced July 2025
Dear OF members,
For sale is an honest and well-preserved 1973 Omega Constellation reference 168.0056. This is one of the later C-Case Constellations, featuring a gold-capped case with a solid gold bezel and observatory medallion on the back. These design details give the watch both a subtle dress presence and the everyday practicality that the Constellation line was known for.
The watch is powered by the Omega Cal. 1011 chronometer-rated automatic movement, which was freshly serviced in July 2025 by my watchmaker. It is running reliably within specification and should be good to go for years before its next service.
Condition:
Dial: Original dial in excellent condition with correct set of baton hands.
Case: 34.5mm gold-capped case with solid gold bezel and observatory medallion. Some light wear as expected, but overall sharp with good lines.
Crystal: Unsigned original Omega crystal, free from scratches.
Crown: Original signed crown, functions correctly.
Movement: Omega Cal. 1011, chronometer-rated with quickset date. Freshly serviced in July 2025, currently running within spec.
Specifications:
Brand: Omega
Model: Constellation C-Case
Reference: 168.0056
Year: 1973
Movement: Cal. 1011 automatic chronometer
Case: Gold-capped, 34.5mm, solid gold bezel & medallion
Lug width: 18mm

Price: €810 (net to me)
This includes DHL Express insured worldwide shipping.
Payment: Wise, bank transfer, crypto, or PayPal G&S (buyer covers 4.5% fee).
Important note: As with all vintage Omegas, this watch is not waterproof. Even with a service and gaskets replaced, these were not built for modern water resistance and should be kept away from water, humidity, and steam.
Additional pictures, wrist shots, or timegrapher results are available upon request.

Thank you OF for the space.
Best,
Harry
