BRAND HISTORY

Omega Constellation 168.019 18k – Linen Dial, 1968 - A Rare White Gold Beauty with Milanese Bracelet Elegance

The Omega Constellation has always stood as a symbol of precision and prestige — and this rare Ref. 168.019 in 18k white gold takes that legacy to a whole new level. Introduced during the golden age of dress watches, this 1968 piece showcases the bold C-shape case design Omega adopted in the late ‘60s, paired with a stunning silver linen dial and an ultra-elegant 18k white gold Milanese bracelet.

The day-date layout, sharp hour markers, and subtle textures make for a piece that is quietly luxurious and distinctly 1960s in aesthetic — but still timeless in every sense.

Inside, you'll find the chronometer-certified Omega Caliber 751, a robust automatic movement renowned for its reliability and smooth date functionality.

This white gold reference is extremely hard to find, especially in such pristine condition — a perfect fit for serious Omega collectors or those looking for a refined vintage dress watch with daily wearability.

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.
