Automatic Vintage Omega Constellation 168.0057 Certified Chronometer

Automatic Vintage Omega Constellation (168.0057) Certified Chronometer:

Up for sale is a beautiful Omega Constellation reference 168.0057, dating from approximately 1974. A timeless piece of Swiss engineering and understated class.

This model is an officially certified Chronometer, meaning it passed rigorous precision tests by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). This designation is reserved for high-accuracy mechanical timepieces and reflects the exceptional quality of Omegas movements.

Key Features:
- Omega automatic movement, still keeping perfect time.
- Day and date complications.
- Original Omega signed crown.
- Original gold Constellation medallion on case back (some of the 'stars' have faded).
- No scratches on the crystal, although there is a small chip near the 10 o'clock position where the crystal meets the bezel (as shown in photos).
- Brand new genuine leather strap (non-Omega) - currently the black strap is on the watch, but let me know if you would prefer the brown strap.
- Beautiful white/silver dial with elegant indices and clean lines. The dial is still in fantastic condition.

The watch has a case back inscription which indicates that it was awarded by the SASOL company (South African Synthetic Oil Limited) to commemorate 20 years of service. A charming piece of corporate history. This Constellation represents not only Omegas mid-70s design language, but also carries a story. A tribute to long service and precision.

Good condition, but note that this is an antique item, so has natural signs of age. Being sold as is.
