Omega Constellation C-Shape Automatic 18K Yellow Gold “OM Linen Dial” – Ref. 168.017 / 168.009 (1969)

A masterful expression of late-1960s Swiss elegance, this Omega Constellation C-Shape Ref. 168.017 captures the brand’s golden era of precision and design. Crafted entirely in solid 18k yellow gold, it combines Gerald Genta’s unmistakable sculptural lines with the subtle opulence of an “OM” (Or Massif) linen-textured dial — an exceptionally rare and captivating combination within the Constellation lineage.

The Dial – Linen Texture & Golden Warmth

The dial, fashioned from solid 18k gold and bearing the discreet “OM” hallmark, radiates a soft, warm tone that shifts with the light. Its linen-patterned finish creates a refined play of texture and depth — a hallmark of Omega’s finest mid-century craftsmanship. Gold-applied indices and dauphine hands complete the composition with timeless restraint.

Protected by the original Omega plexiglass and signed crown, this dial remains untouched, its natural patina and sharp printing testifying to the watch’s originality and care.

The Case – Gerald Genta’s Sculptural C-Shape

Designed by Gerald Genta, the C-Shape case embodies the architectural clarity of late-1960s modernism. This example remains unpolished and razor-sharp, retaining its original brushed and polished surfaces in exceptional definition. The heavy 18k construction — over 35 grams of solid 18K gold — reinforces both its luxurious presence and enduring value.

Measured at approximately 35 mm in diameter, the watch wears with remarkable poise — substantial yet balanced, befitting its chronometer-certified pedigree.

Movement – Caliber 564 Chronometer Precision

Inside beats the legendary Caliber 564, one of Omega’s finest automatic chronometer movements of the period. With quick-set date and 24-jewel construction, it is celebrated for its reliability and precision. This movement has been recently serviced and performs flawlessly, underscoring Omega’s reputation for enduring mechanical excellence.

Serial 28957683 dates production to circa 1969, aligning perfectly with the C-Shape’s golden age.

Strap & Presentation

Fitted with a handmade Belgian leather strap, this piece balances vintage authenticity with modern wearability. The supple texture of the leather complements the dial’s linen finish and the gold case’s warmth, ensuring both comfort and refinement on the wrist.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
