Vintage Omega Constellation 168.016

Omega

Reference: 168.016

Case: The 35mm steel case appears to be unpolished. The reason I believe that to be true is, as you can note in the pictures, the original vertical and horizontal brushed finishing can be appreciated on the mid case and contrasting against the mirror polish of the bevels on all four lugs. However, there are collectors much more knowledgeable than me on here. If that’s not true feel free to correct me and I will amend. The medallion on the case back is crisp and the case sports light wear throughout commensurate with age. 

Dial: The white, sunburst dial is pristine, free from any staining or imperfections. The only defect that can be noted is at the 7 o’clock hour marker, which appears to have lost some of its black painted inlay. Also, of note, one of the lume plots pips is no longer attached and is floating around inside the watch. Presumably it can be attached and restabilized by a competent watchmaker at the next service. 

Movement: Caliber 751. The watch was timed over a 24hr period and compared with atomic EST. The 24hr hour period included wear and non-wear.  In that time period the watch gained 4 seconds; however, the service history is unknown and, as always, it is recommended to get the movement serviced prior to daily wear. 

BRACELET: Comes on a genuine leather strap
