A Very Rare Omega Constellation C-Shape designed by Gérald Genta
This exceptional Omega Constellation C-Shape Automatic Ref. 168.029 from the 1970s is one of the most desirable executions of the legendary Constellation line. Designed by the iconic watch designer Gerald Genta, this reference perfectly captures the bold and elegant aesthetic that defined an era of Swiss watchmaking.
What makes this particular example especially collectible is its stunning and highly uncommon original grey dial, preserved in fantastic condition, paired with the elegant 18k white gold fluted bezel. Finding a Constellation C-Shape with this exact configuration and in such well-preserved condition is becoming increasingly difficult.
Fantastic Condition and Fully Original Character
The watch remains in fantastic overall condition, showcasing sharp lines on the stainless steel case and an incredibly attractive dial with beautiful vintage character. The contrast between the steel case and the white gold bezel gives the watch a refined yet sporty presence on the wrist.
Its classic 35 mm case size, excluding the crown, offers ideal proportions for a timeless vintage watch — elegant, versatile, and extremely wearable today.
The watch retains its original signed Omega crown and the iconic Constellation caseback featuring the famous Geneva Observatory medallion, one of the most recognizable symbols in Omega’s history.
Omega Calibre 751 – COSC Certified Chronometer Movement
Inside the watch beats the legendary Omega Calibre 751, one of Omega’s finest automatic chronometer movements of the vintage era. This movement features both day and date complications and carries an official COSC chronometer certification, guaranteeing exceptional precision standards.
Recently serviced and functioning perfectly, the calibre 751 is widely respected among collectors for its reliability, smooth operation, and high-quality finishing. It represents the peak of Omega’s mechanical watchmaking during the golden age of Swiss horology.
A True Piece of Watchmaking History
The Omega Constellation C-Shape is much more than a vintage watch — it is a piece of horological history. Combining Gerald Genta’s visionary design language with Omega’s chronometer-certified engineering, the Ref. 168.029 stands as one of the most charismatic Constellation references ever produced.
With its rare grey dial, 18k white gold bezel, outstanding condition, and recently serviced chronometer movement, this is a truly special collector’s piece that is becoming increasingly difficult to source in original condition.
