Omega Constellation 168.005 Gilt  “Beads of Rice”, 1963 - Pie Pan Stardust Classic

A refined chronometer from Omega’s golden era — rich in precision, proportion, and poise. This Omega Constellation Ref. 168.005, produced in 1963, exemplifies the timeless sophistication that made the Constellation line one of Omega’s defining achievements.

The 34 mm stainless steel case displays sharp geometry and elegant contours, balanced by the signature gilt pie pan dial — an unmistakable hallmark of early Constellations. Slim baton indices and faceted dauphine hands complete the picture, capturing the mid-century ideal of refined understatement. This model has developed a unique patina that reminds us of the night sky full of stars.

Powered by the chronometer-certified Caliber 561 automatic, this watch combines reliability with quiet luxury. And the true cherry on top: a rare, matching “Beads of Rice” bracelet, completing the piece with quintessential Omega grace.
