Q: What model and reference is this watch?
A: This is a vintage Omega Constellation, reference 168.005, made in Switzerland.

Q: What does circa 1970 mean?
A: The watch is dated to approximately 1970. This is an estimated production year rather than a confirmed exact date.

Q: What size is this Omega Constellation?
A: The listed case diameter is 34 mm. For wrist fit, please contact us to confirm the strap or bracelet measurements, as these are not provided in the product information.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This watch is listed in good condition, with light marks and scratches throughout the material. Its internal condition is described as good, and the hardware is shiny with scratches. Please review the photographs for the visible signs of wear.

Q: Is this an automatic or battery-powered watch?
A: OMEGA identifies reference 168.005 as an automatic chronometer model, associated with calibres 561 and 564. An automatic mechanical movement is powered by winding rather than a battery. The exact calibre fitted to this particular watch is not specified in the product information.

Q: Is this watch made from solid gold?
A: The listed colour is gold, but the case material and gold purity are not specified. A gold colour does not confirm solid-gold construction. Please contact us for confirmation before purchasing if this detail is important to you.

Q: Does this watch come with a box, papers or other accessories?
A: No accessories are included according to the product information, so a box or papers are not included.

Q: Can I wear this vintage watch while swimming or showering?
A: Current water resistance has not been confirmed for this watch. Water resistance can deteriorate as seals age, so do not assume an original rating still applies. Keep it away from water and remove it before swimming or showering unless a qualified watchmaker has confirmed its suitability.

Q: Has this watch been serviced, and when should it next be serviced?
A: No service date or service history is supplied. The internal condition rating does not establish when the movement was last serviced. OMEGA generally recommends a complete service every five to eight years, but a vintage watch with an unknown service history should be assessed individually by a qualified watchmaker.

Q: How should I care for this vintage Omega Constellation?
A: Gently wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth and store it somewhere dry and protected from knocks. Avoid harsh chemicals, strong magnetic fields and extreme temperatures. As its current water resistance is unconfirmed, do not immerse it for cleaning.
