Omega constellation ref 1680056 Applied logo

Omega Constellation – Ref. 168.0056 – Applied Logo Dial with Light Patina – Cal. 1011 A clean and elegant Omega Constellation from the early 1970s, representing the transition into a more modern design language while maintaining the line’s signature refinement. This example features a non–pie pan dial with applied Omega logo and indices, giving it a flatter, more contemporary look compared to earlier Constellations. The dial has developed a light, even patina that adds warmth and character without distracting from its sharp layout. The applied furniture and Constellation star remain crisp and well-defined. The case retains its classic proportions and wears slightly larger thanks to the broader dial opening, making it an easy daily vintage piece. Inside is the Omega calibre 1011, a chronometer-rated automatic movement from Omega’s 1000-series—known for its slimmer construction and solid reliability. Technical Background Reference 168.0056 belongs to the later Constellation generation, where Omega moved away from pie-pan dials toward flatter, more modern aesthetics. The calibre 1011 continues the chronometer tradition of the Constellation line, offering improved efficiency and a thinner profile compared to the earlier 500-series. Serial 33867XXX dates the watch to approximately 1972.
