Omega Constellation Ref 168029 Linnen dial DAYDATE

Omega Constellation “Linen Dial” – Ref. 168.029 – Cal. 751 – Rare 1172 Bracelet

A sharp and highly collectible Omega Constellation featuring the sought-after linen (crosshair-textured) dial—one of the more uncommon and desirable dial variants from the era. The subtle texture plays beautifully with the light, adding depth and refinement beyond the standard sunburst finish.

The applied indices and logo remain crisp, with the Constellation star standing proud against the textured surface. The classic C-shape case gives the watch a strong wrist presence while staying elegant and balanced.

What sets this example apart is the presence of the original Omega 1172 bracelet with correct 515 end links—a configuration that is increasingly hard to find and highly sought after by collectors.

Inside beats the Omega calibre 751, a top-tier chronometer-rated movement featuring day-date and quickset functionality, known for its robustness and smooth operation.

Technical Background

Serial 31954XXX dates production to approximately 1970.
