RARE 1974 OMEGA Constellation XL 168.0062 Certified Auto Chronometer
A rarely-seen original vintage 1974 OMEGA Constellation Chronometer XL Reference 168.0062. This is the Jumbo-sized XL 38mm x 42mm steel case and with the unique integrated-style 1235/226 chunky steel bracelet which was bespoke to this reference and therefore rare to find – especially in such fantastic condition. The bracelet is 26mm wide and features a very Genta-esque aesthetic not too dissimilar to the style of the AP Royal Oak from the same period. On close inspection it is possible to find some signs of wear, but actually it looks like this watch has been very well cared for and only worn occasionally – considering it is in such good condition for it’s age. Please see the full item description and photos to appreciate how cool this watch really is. Omega Constellation 168.0062. An original vintage 1974 OMEGA Constellation Chronometer XL Reference 168.0062. The bracelet is 26mm width at its widest point and features a very Genta-esque aesthetic not too dissimilar to the style of the AP Royal Oak from the same period. This is a very impressive watch! Please see the photos to appreciate how cool this watch really is – and perfectly sized for today’s preference for larger watches. On close inspection it is possible to find some signs of wear, but actually it looks like this watch has been very well cared for and only worn occasionally – considering it is 46 years old and in such good condition for it’s age. It still looks very good on the wrist today! The “TV Dial” case is so retro-styled for it’s era and so much more distinctive in this XL size with the outstanding integrated-style bracelet. The textured brushed-steel effect dial itself changes colour between silver and grey depending in the lighting, it does show some signs of its age with numerous small (hardly noticeable) age spots distributed evenly thoughout. It has faceted hour markers, a date window at 3 and the very 70’s applied OMEGA logos. This watch has a very consistent theme of brushed and polished surfaces throughout the case and bracelet and that extends round to the outer case back which has the main surface brushed, but with the awesome Constellation Observatory logo inset with a bright silver finish. The Obervatory logo engraving on this Constellation is in incredible condition, crisp & clear. Close-up viewed through a macro lens it is breathtaking – it really is a work of art. The Automatic Chronometer-certified self-winding movement is Omega’s Calibre 1011. It is in full working order, tested just prior to listing and running to an accuracy within -7 secs per day and showing an amplitude reading of 214. The bracelet is currently sized to fit a wrist of 7 1/4 with an extra 8mm available by adjustment within the clasp. This is a rare watch, but also an excellent example of this rare watch. A great opportunity for any watch enthusiast or Omega collector. It also looks great on the wrist today!
