An exceptional and increasingly rare Omega Constellation reference 168.027, dating to 1969 and presented with two features collectors always seek: its original Omega bracelet and original Omega box. However, the true highlight of this watch is undoubtedly its stunning silver linen dial, beautifully complemented by the distinctive 18ct white gold serrated bezel.

With its elegant cushion-shaped case and renowned chronometer-certified automatic movement, this is a classic example from one of Omega’s most respected eras.

Our View

The reference 168.027 is widely regarded as one of the most attractive late-1960s Constellation references. The combination of the cushion-shaped case, pie-pan successor linen dial and white gold fluted bezel creates a watch that feels both elegant and distinctly period-correct.

What makes this example particularly desirable is its originality. The unpolished case, original bracelet and original box are features often lost over the decades. The linen dial is especially appealing, adding depth and texture that standard silver dials simply cannot match.

For collectors seeking an honest, wearable and increasingly difficult-to-find vintage Omega, this Constellation represents a fantastic opportunity.
