Omega Constellation Automatic “C-Shape” – Blue Dial (Ref. 168.0056, Circa 1972)

The Omega Constellation Ref. 168.0056 embodies the refined vision of Gérald Genta, the legendary designer whose work helped define modern watch design. Introduced in the early 1970s, this C-shape Constellation merges bold architectural form with elegant precision. This example, featuring a rare blue dial and powered by the Omega Calibre 1011, is an outstanding representation of the model’s enduring charm and sophistication.

The Case – The Genta “C-Shape” Design

The 35 mm stainless steel case reflects the distinctive C-shaped silhouette introduced by Gérald Genta in the late 1960s—a design that emphasized smooth continuity, integrated lines, and ergonomic elegance. This example remains unpolished, preserving its sharp angles and crisp brushed surfaces.

The case’s balanced proportions make it effortlessly wearable, while its distinctive shape gives it a strong vintage presence. The original Omega-signed crown remains intact, confirming its authenticity and originality.

The Dial – Deep Blue, Understated and Rare

The original Omega blue dial displays a subtle and even light patina, adding depth and vintage character without compromising its beauty. The color—ranging from navy to slate depending on the light—is strikingly uncommon among Constellations of this era, making this a particularly desirable variant.

The dial retains its applied Omega logo and markers, along with the signature “Constellation” star at 6 o’clock. The contrast of the blue surface with the silver-tone furniture creates an elegant, quietly confident look.

Protected by its original mineral crystal, the dial remains well-preserved and highly legible, true to the understated luxury that defines the Constellation line.

The Movement – Omega Calibre 1011, Chronometer Precision

At the heart of this watch beats the Omega Calibre 1011, an in-house chronometer-rated automatic movementrenowned for its accuracy and reliability. The movement has been recently serviced and is keeping excellent time, performing as well as it did when it left the Omega workshops in the early 1970s.

The Cal. 1011 represents one of the brand’s finest automatic calibres of its period—featuring a quick-set date and a slim profile, perfectly suited to the elegant design of the Constellation.

The Strap – Handcrafted Modern Elegance

Paired with a brand-new handmade leather strap crafted in Belgium, the watch combines vintage charm with modern comfort. The black strap complements the blue dial beautifully, enhancing the watch’s understated sophistication.

Excellent front wipers, rear slightly shorter than expected
Size: 22"+21"+11"(U/J Hook), Size: 22"+21"+11"(U/J Hook)
I purchased the 22", 21", and 11" windshield wiper blade set for my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The front windshield wipers (22" and 21") work perfectly—smooth, quiet, and they clean the glass very well with no streaks. Regarding the rear wiper (11"), it does work properly and gets the job done. However, it is slightly shorter than the one I previously had installed. To be fair, I did not measure my old rear wiper, but it appears the one on my vehicle was a 12" blade, even though this listing specifies 11". Overall, I’m satisfied with the performance, especially for the front wipers. Just keep in mind that the rear blade may be shorter than what you currently have installed, depending on your setup.

Finally, no more streaking and squeaking.
Size: 26"+16"(Top Lock)
Bought these a few months ago for my boyfriend’s car. It was for the purpose of replacing the OEM model that initially came with the car, as the squeaking was driving me nuts. Matching the pair to his car’s make and model here on Amazon was easy. The installation was easy as well, as they simply lock in with no difficulty for me. And they look fine as well. They’ve held up the last few months in the bitter winter here in the northeastern seaboard with no issues. No squeaking, streaking, or scraping. The material seems sturdy and of good stability, not flimsy. Definitely directing him to buy this brand again when they eventually need changed out.

Great price and perfect fit.
Size: 26"+20"+12"B(U/J Hook)
All three blades worked great for my 2023 Grand Cherokee. Well worth the money! Make sure you know how to take the old blades off! I had issues with the rear blade, but finally worked it out. The rear blade is 12 inches long, but the factory blade was 10 inches, presumably to clear the roof camera. FYI the 12 inch blade works fine.

Easy Install and Skip Free

This is a good kit - the second one I bought for a different car. Wipers seem to wipe ok. That is if you first remove the little blade guards that come with each wiper, just like the ice skaters use for their Olympic level blades. And having all three blades (two front and one back) ordered specifically to fit the car, I didn't have to guess and take multiple trips to AutoZone or Advance or O'Riellys. Sometimes the reviewer bot likes to know about some specifics as well. So . . . these fight a great battle to resist rain. And with a lever inside the car, these wipers are easy to use once installed. They are really fast when they slide out of the box. Having had some cars where the wipers fell off, I can attest to the safety that any wiper gives the driver, regardless of it's durability or speed. So I look forward to the safety these wipers will afford over having metal arms scratching across the windshield like fingernails on a chalk board.
