Omega Constellation Automatic “C-Shape” – Blue Dial (Ref. 168.0056, Circa 1972)

The Omega Constellation Ref. 168.0056 embodies the refined vision of Gérald Genta, the legendary designer whose work helped define modern watch design. Introduced in the early 1970s, this C-shape Constellation merges bold architectural form with elegant precision. This example, featuring a rare blue dial and powered by the Omega Calibre 1011, is an outstanding representation of the model’s enduring charm and sophistication.

The Case – The Genta “C-Shape” Design

The 35 mm stainless steel case reflects the distinctive C-shaped silhouette introduced by Gérald Genta in the late 1960s—a design that emphasized smooth continuity, integrated lines, and ergonomic elegance. This example remains unpolished, preserving its sharp angles and crisp brushed surfaces.

The case’s balanced proportions make it effortlessly wearable, while its distinctive shape gives it a strong vintage presence. The original Omega-signed crown remains intact, confirming its authenticity and originality.

The Dial – Deep Blue, Understated and Rare

The original Omega blue dial displays a subtle and even light patina, adding depth and vintage character without compromising its beauty. The color—ranging from navy to slate depending on the light—is strikingly uncommon among Constellations of this era, making this a particularly desirable variant.

The dial retains its applied Omega logo and markers, along with the signature “Constellation” star at 6 o’clock. The contrast of the blue surface with the silver-tone furniture creates an elegant, quietly confident look.

Protected by its original mineral crystal, the dial remains well-preserved and highly legible, true to the understated luxury that defines the Constellation line.

The Movement – Omega Calibre 1011, Chronometer Precision

At the heart of this watch beats the Omega Calibre 1011, an in-house chronometer-rated automatic movementrenowned for its accuracy and reliability. The movement has been recently serviced and is keeping excellent time, performing as well as it did when it left the Omega workshops in the early 1970s.

The Cal. 1011 represents one of the brand’s finest automatic calibres of its period—featuring a quick-set date and a slim profile, perfectly suited to the elegant design of the Constellation.

The Strap – Handcrafted Modern Elegance

Paired with a brand-new handmade leather strap crafted in Belgium, the watch combines vintage charm with modern comfort. The black strap complements the blue dial beautifully, enhancing the watch’s understated sophistication.

Easy to assemble and install
Color: White, Style: Wall Cabinet, Color: White, Style: Wall Cabinet
This cabinet meets our need for more bathrooms storage without interfering with the space in our smallish bathroom. The package arrived well packed in cardboard with foam inserts to protect the parts from damage in transit. I was able to easily follow the included directions with minimal fuss. In several cases, extra hardware piece were included, which I really appreciated. The quality of the construction was excellent. The only this that concerned me was the weight bearing capability of the included shelves. I added a few liquid or lotion filled bottles and noticed the shelves sagging, so I may have to cut my own shelves to better support. The cabinet looks great and is exactly as pictured in the listing after I assembled it. The ability to customize the shelves is also helpful. I looked at several cabinets for this purpose, some more expensive, some less, and I am happy with the money spent for this cabinet.

Great bathroom cabinet!
Color: White, Style: Wall Cabinet
My husband mounted this cabinet over our toilet and it’s the perfect addition! It looks great, matches the cabinets we already have and adds much needed storage! I plan on buying a second to put in my daughter’s/ the guest bathroom. The doors are magnetic and close securely, and the shelves are adjustable and feel sturdy. It was very easy to put together and feels very secure mounted on the wall

Mounting process could have been easier but still a beautiful cabinet
Color: White, Style: Wall Cabinet, Color: White, Style: Wall Cabinet
Beautiful cabinet seems to be good quality I just keep admiring something so beautiful about the white. The extra hardware is thoughtful. With some master skills I was able to get it mounted perfect. It was not a breeze but nonetheless I always find a way. I found the best way to mount this was to hold it against the wall and follow the pre-drilled holes at the bottom to drill the holes into the wall that wasnt that hard But for the top anchor/screws, the cabinet did not have pre-drilled holes and I was not about to guess !! So I used alien tape to tape the top wood bar to the unit as shown in pic then took the cabinet lined up the bottom holes while holding the cabinet up then I drilled holes through the unit with a small bit just to get the whole going then took it back down then followed the same holes with a bigger bit and it worked for me. It hung level. It was crazy that the pre-holes were not 16” apart when they could have been. I added extra screws to be able to mount them to a stud I didn’t feel comfortable with it not being mounted to a stud. The screws I had were too long gonna have to get some shorter screws. But it’s up & looks so nice DO NOT USE 11/32 bit. Don’t even use 5/16. I use 1/4 and kinda ran the drill in a circle to widen the whole and it was the perfect tight fit All in all I do love the cabinet. Just feel the mounting process could have been instructed more conveniently

I absolutely love this cabinet. It’s super well-made easy to put together and the space is great. I’ve already received some compliments. Thought it would guests. Come to my home. Just look at how nice it pairs with my bathroom. The handles are sturdy. There’s also a nice tag inside with the company’s name. If you’re looking for a bathroom cabinet, highly recommended this one is well worth it. Love it!!!
