Omega Constellation Ref. 157.0001 Blue Textured Dial · Automatic Cal. 712 · Circa 1968 By the late 1960s, the Omega Constellation had already secured its place as one of the brand’s most prestigious chronometer lines. Originally introduced in 1952 to showcase Omega’s precision achievements in observatory trials, the Constellation became synonymous with accuracy, refinement, and understated luxury. This 1968 example reflects that mature era where performance met elegant experimentation in dial design. The highlight of this piece is its stunning blue textured dial, featuring a subtle cross woven pattern that plays beautifully with light. The applied Roman numerals elevate its classical character, while the silver baton hands maintain clarity and balance. The applied star above 6 o’clock remains a quiet reminder of the Constellation’s chronometric heritage. Housed in a slim case measuring 34.5mm without crown (36.5mm with crown) and just 7.5mm thick, it wears refined and elegant on the wrist. Powering the watch is the manual wind Calibre 712, a high-grade chronometer certified movement known for its reliability and slim architecture. Paired with its original Omega mesh bracelet, the watch retains authentic late 60s sophistication with a contemporary presence.
