1973 Omega Constellation 'Chronometer' Auto 33mm 168.0058
Here we have a rare classic 1973 Omega Constellation 'Chronometer' Auto 33mm 168.0058. Omega first introduced the Constellation in 1952. At the time, it was Omega's flagship timepiece. The first models had a Cal. 354 bumper movement in them. Later, in 1955, Omega introduced the Automatic Cal. 50x, followed in 1959 by the Cal.55x (no date) and 56x (date) versions. Many of the Constellations came with pie-pan dials, diamond indexes, and fancy lug configurations. The eight stars above the Observatory stand for the many exploits of Omega in the world Chronometer competition. Celebrating the fact that all Constellations are Chronometer Certified. Featuring a 33mm stainless steel tonneau-shaped case with hidden lugs that flow into the mesh bracelet, its design is unapologetically 1970s. The curved, seamless flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 38.5mm and a case thickness of 9mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side sits a signed crown. The raised flat 1970s TV-shaped crystal protects a sunburst grey dial. The outer minute track features Tritium pips above applied facet-edged baton indexes filled in black to mark the hours. Slim steel stick hands tipped in tritium are complemented with a tapered sweeping seconds hand. At 3 o’clock, a framed date window. At noon, we have Omega, “Constellation Automatic,” printed underneath, and at 6 o’clock, an applied Omega motif, "Chronometer Officially Certified". On the reverse, a screwed-down solid case back features an embossed Geneva Observatory and eight stars. Inside, we find an Automatic Omega Cal. 1012, with 23 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour. It has a quick-set date and hacking seconds for your convenience, produced from 1972 to 1984. It comes paired with its 20mm generic mesh bracelet secured by a folding clasp.
