Omega 168010/11 white gold Constellation with diamond indexes Cal 564 (1966)

Omega 168010/11 white gold Constellation with diamond indexes, 24 jewels Cal 564 from the year 1966. This is a deluxe version of case 168.010 with triple diamonds on three of the quarter hours and one diamond neatly integrated into the date quarter hour. 

I have been a look out for white gold Constellation. Previously, I have found a white gold Omega Constellation and but I have decided to return it owing to the redial. This time, I am fortunate to find another white gold constellation. I have to trade away a Rolex automatic date plus cash top up for this Omega with "hidden crown". The case size is only slightly larger than the traditional Connie at 35mm but with the lug width at 19mm and a smaller bezel, it has given the perception of  a larger dial area on display and the watch will appear larger on the wrist.






I am slowly growing and tightening my Vintage Omega collection focusing on precious metal like the solid Pink, white gold series, and Constellation series if possible or else the focus of collection will be very wide. The only exception is the Omega Seamaster 300 and some with rare Middle East dials (the the watch made for Kim Il Sung)  where the watches are in stainless steel
