Omega Constellation Automatic Chronometer Day & Date Steel, Caliber 751, 1970s

Elegant representative of the golden age of Swiss watchmaking, this stainless steel automatic Omega Constellation perfectly illustrates the expertise of the Biel-based manufacture in the early 1970s.

Reference 168.018, this model belongs to the prestigious Constellation line, created in 1952 to bring together the most precise watches produced by Omega. Right from its launch, the collection established itself as the brand's flagship thanks to its chronometer-certified movements and superior level of finishing.

This version features a steel case with typically Seventies lines, alternating satin-finished surfaces and subtle polishes. Its fluid, balanced design gives it an assertive presence while retaining a timeless elegance on the wrist.

The silvered dial, having developed a delicate natural patina over the decades, is embellished with faceted applied hour-markers and black baton hands offering a particularly successful contrast. At three o'clock, the large framed day-date aperture adds a strong personality to the dial, while guaranteeing excellent legibility. The day disc is presented here in French.

This Constellation is powered by the famous Omega caliber 751, a mechanical automatic manufacture movement with day and date display. Introduced in the late 1960s, this movement was one of the most accomplished calibers developed by Omega before the advent of quartz. Renowned for its robustness, precision and reliability, it also benefits from official chronometer certification, a distinction reserved for movements meeting the most demanding criteria of their time.

On the back, the screw-down caseback features the famous Geneva observatory surrounded by eight stars, the emblematic symbol of the Constellation collection. This decoration pays homage to the precision records achieved by Omega during the international chronometry competitions that helped build the Swiss manufacture's reputation.

Mounted on a green leather strap that emphasizes its vintage aesthetic with originality, this Omega Constellation seduces as much for its horological qualities as for its discreet elegance. Today, it is a particularly sought-after timepiece for lovers of classic chronometer watches and collectors of Omega production from the 1970s.

In perfect condition and serviced, the proper functioning of this watch is guaranteed by us for one year (except in the event of shock or immersion).

An emblematic watch, powered by one of the finest automatic movements of its era, witness to a particularly prosperous period in Swiss watchmaking.
