Omega Constellation 168.027 – Linen Dial – Original Bracelet & Box – 1969 Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

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.

What’s Included

Original Omega stainless steel bracelet

Original Omega presentation box

12-month mechanical guarantee

Next-day insured delivery

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

This Omega Constellation wristwatch dates from 1960 in the Mid-Century Modern style. It is made from stainless steel and glass in a silver colour, featuring a C-shape case, fluted bezel, linen dial, and baton hour markers. The watch includes an unpolished cushion-shaped case with surface marks, a serrated white gold bezel, and an original steel link bracelet. The silver linen dial has a textured pattern, applied hour markers, silver-tone hands, a date window at the three o'clock position, and light scratches on the acrylic crystal. The piece measures 3.5 cm high. This wristwatch is worn on the wrist as a personal timepiece and functions as a functional accessory for everyday wear or formal occasions, easily pairing with tailored attire or business dress.

Introduced in the mid-1960s and designed by Gerald Genta, the C-Shape Omega Constellation marked a shift towards integrated lug design and modern ergonomics, remaining a flagship chronometer model throughout the decade.

These timepieces were typically constructed from stainless steel, solid gold, or gold cap over steel, featuring acrylic crystals, textured or brushed metallic dials, and high-grade self-winding mechanical movements.

Authenticity is verified by checking for matching reference numbers inside the case back, correct caliber markings on the automatic movement, sharp dial typography, and the signature Geneva Observatory emblem engraved on the case back.

A vintage stainless steel dress watch with a metallic dial easily transitions between formal tailoring and smart-casual attire, adding subtle historical craftsmanship to modern outfits.

Keep vintage mechanical watches away from water, strong magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures, and ensure the movement is professionally serviced every three to five years to maintain functional accuracy.
