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 33857XXX dates the watch to approximately 1972.
