Omega Constellation 168.009 C-Shape 14k Yellow Gold, 1966 - A golden icon of precision and 1960s design sophistication.

This Omega Constellation Ref. 168.009 represents the elegance and technical mastery that defined Omega’s golden age. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the C-shape case marked a new era of modern design — sculptural yet understated, and unmistakably refined.

Encased in solid 14k yellow gold, this example pairs a perfectly preserved golden linen dial with slender stick markers and matching dauphine hands. The subtle texture of the dial catches light beautifully, offering quiet luxury from every angle.

The watch retains its original 14k yellow gold bracelet, a rare and highly desirable configuration that gives this Constellation a seamless, integrated look on the wrist. Inside beats Omega’s chronometer-certified Caliber 564, a movement admired for its reliability and precision — the mechanical heart of an enduring classic.

Effortlessly sophisticated and immaculately balanced, this Constellation embodies Omega’s timeless dialogue between form and function.

Omega

Few watchmakers have a résumé as storied — or as proudly worn — as Omega. Since 1848, the maison has been at the center of history, science, sport, and style. From lunar landings to Olympic games, from deep-sea dives to Bond films, Omega watches have accompanied the bold and the brilliant every step of the way.

But beyond the headlines lies something more intimate: a legacy of precision, purpose, and unmistakable design that makes Omega vintage watches some of the most collectible and meaningful timepieces ever made.

For collectors, few moments are as defining as 1969 — when the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon. But long before that, Omega was pushing boundaries: anti-magnetic cases in the 1950s Railmaster, the revolutionary dive-ready Seamaster 300, the effortlessly elegant Constellation, and the space-age Dynamic. Each one tells a story — of innovation, of function, of fearless design.

Omega vintage watches are where tool-watch utility meets mid-century beauty. Clean dials. Twisted lugs. Pie-pan textures. Lume-aged hands that glow with nostalgia. They’re not just instruments — they’re artifacts of a century in motion.

To wear an Omega is to wear a piece of collective memory. It’s for the collector who values performance, but also emotion. Someone who connects with history not just through words, but through the tick of a movement that once timed a mission, lit up a ballroom, or accompanied a dive into the unknown.

Omega doesn’t need embellishment. It’s trusted. Proven. Loved.

Because true greatness doesn’t announce itself — it leaves a legacy. And when that legacy is preserved in a finely aged case, beating with life decades later, it becomes something more:

A vintage watch that reminds you of where we’ve been — and dares you to keep going.
