Omega Constellation | Pie Pan Crosshair Dog Leg | Ref. 168.005 | Calibre 561 | Circa 1962
A Mid-Century Icon of Precision and Prestige
This Omega Constellation from circa 1962 stands as one of the most refined executions of the classic “Pie Pan” design. Encased in solid 18k yellow gold with elegant dog leg lugs, it exemplifies the peak of Omega’s design and mechanical engineering in the golden era of Swiss horology. Reference 168.005, housing the celebrated chronometer-rated calibre 561, offers not just technical performance but the kind of aesthetic warmth that only five decades of quiet aging can bestow.
18k Gold Geometry and Gentle Aging
The 34mm case, forged in 18k yellow gold, retains its sharply faceted dog leg lugs—hallmarks of the mid-century Constellation line. These lugs create a bold architectural frame, tempering the classically sized case with a confident presence on the wrist. The original 10-sided Omega-signed crown fits seamlessly into the case flank, preserving the symmetry and profile of the watch as originally intended.
A polished bezel, tight chamfers, and lightly aged edges speak to the watch’s well-preserved condition. This is not a museum piece locked away—it is a working heirloom.
The Crosshair Pie Pan: A Dial of Depth and Detail
At the heart lies a rare and highly desirable silver “Pie Pan” dial, so named for its unique sloped, multi-faceted design. The dial’s clean crosshair layout adds vertical and horizontal balance, emphasizing the precision Omega intended both mechanically and visually.
The surface exhibits a light, even patina, accentuated by a small dome-like bump between 11 and 12 o'clock—an endearing quirk caused by the dial feet below, visible only upon close inspection. It speaks to the originality and untouched nature of the dial. Applied gold hour markers and dauphine hands complete the ensemble, glowing warmly against the soft silver ground.
Chronometer Calibre and Service Assurance
Beating inside is the revered Omega calibre 561, an automatic movement with 24 jewels and a quickset date mechanism, officially certified as a chronometer—an accolade not easily won. Known for its reliability and smooth operation, the movement has just undergone a full professional service and is backed by a one-year mechanical warranty.
Contemporary Comfort, Timeless Style
Fitted with a brand new brown leather strap, the watch wears comfortably while honoring the tones of the original case. The combination of modern comfort and vintage charm makes this Constellation not just a collectible, but a wearable piece of history.
