Omega Constellation “C-Shape” OM Linen Dial – 18K Yellow Gold (Ref. 568.011, 1968)

The Omega Constellation is one of the brand’s most celebrated lines, synonymous with precision, elegance, and timeless design. This exquisite ladies example from 1968 showcases the iconic C-shape case in solid 18K yellow gold, paired with a rare OM (Or Massif) linen dial—making it a truly luxurious and collectible vintage Constellation.

Refined yet substantial, this watch perfectly balances feminine proportions with the unmistakable presence of solid gold, embodying Omega’s golden-era craftsmanship.

The Case – Iconic C-Shape in Solid Gold

Crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold, the signature C-shape case designed by Gérald Genta is both sculptural and elegant. This example stands out for its exceptional weight, reflecting the generous use of gold typical of high-end Omega Constellations from this period.

The fluted bezel is crisp and well-defined, framing the dial beautifully, while the case retains sharp edges and clean lines, a strong indicator of careful preservation. At 24.5mm, the case size is perfectly proportioned for a lady’s wrist—elegant, refined, yet with real presence.

The Dial – Rare OM Linen Dial in 18K Gold

The highlight of this watch is undoubtedly its linen dial crafted in solid 18K yellow gold (OM = Or Massif). The subtle linen texture adds depth and sophistication, catching the light delicately and elevating the overall aesthetic.

This type of dial is far rarer than standard variants and was reserved for higher-end Constellation models. It embodies understated luxury and is a beautiful example of Omega’s attention to detail during the late 1960s.

The Movement – Proven Precision

Inside beats the Omega Caliber 682, an automatic movement specifically designed for ladies’ watches, known for its reliability and refined engineering. This movement has been recently serviced and is running very well, keeping accurate time and ready for daily wear or collection.

The Strap – Handcrafted Elegance

The watch is fitted with a handmade blue leather croco-style strap, crafted in Belgium. The rich blue tone offers a tasteful contrast to the warmth of the yellow gold case, adding a modern yet elegant finishing touch.
