Historical Background
Designed during the peak of Gérald Genta’s influential collaboration with Omega, the Constellation "C-Shape" Ref. 168.0029 represents one of the most iconic silhouettes in vintage Swiss watchmaking. Introduced in the late 1960s, its distinctive tonneau case with integrated lines and fluted bezel delivered a refined, modern aesthetic that defined high-end luxury for the era.
At its core lies the famous Calibre 751, Omega's top-tier, chronometer-rated automatic movement with day and date complications.
