Some watches feel alive the moment you pick them up; they tell their story without needing to say much. The Omega Constellation “C-Shape”, drawn by the one and only Gérald Genta, is one of those pieces. Its fluid, architectural lines marked a turning point for Omega in the late 1960s, when the brand leaned into modern design with confidence and grace.
This example is something special: a rare TÜRLER double-signed linen dial with onyx hour markers, its silver surface catching the light in the most captivating way. It’s in stunning, sharp and unrestored condition, the kind of condition collectors dream of finding.
The TÜRLER name has been part of Swiss watchmaking for well over a century. Founded in Biel in 1883, the family business worked closely with Omega and other great maisons; their name on a dial was a quiet badge of distinction.
Powered by Omega’s chronometer-certified Caliber 751, a movement as beautiful as it is reliable.
Elegant, rare, and wonderfully preserved, this Constellation “C-Shape” isn’t just a design icon; it’s a piece of family history, and a reminder of the era when Genta’s genius quietly reshaped modern watchmaking.
Paired with a vintage but almost NOS after-market bracelet that truly complements the shape and dial design.
CONDITION
This watch is in great unpolished condition, the dial is in outstanding and near pristine shape. The case has very few micro-scratches, probably from sitting on a drawer for a long time and from opening and closing the case back, it was very lightly used.
The watch was just fully serviced and keeps a great time.
