Ultra-thin movement has long been a trademark of superior watchmaking, made possible by the finest craftsmanship and precision technology. In the years, very few manufactures have been tempted to produce these types of movements, as these somewhat delicate constructions are within the technical capability of only the best watchmaking companies. Among them, surely stand out the Omega Constellation men’s ultra-thin family, charming and cool dress watches of the 60’s and 70’s. Absolutely elegant, the present specimen of reference 353.0016 boost the ultra-thin caliber 712, part of the thinnest automatic series Omega has ever produced. Housed in a solid yellow-gold rectangular case with integrated bracelet, the watch is incredibly well preserved with a very nice ante litteram “frosted” decoration. The champagne dial recalls the color of the case, with applied black baton numerals and hands. The watch is, furthermore, fitted with a tiger’s eye crown, which gradually changes in color throughout. While this detail may be easily missed, it is instantly recognizable to the discerning eye.
