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.

Great computer stand
Color: Gray
These stands are great. We now have two of them. My wife suffers from Carple tunnel syndrome and these stands lesson the effects when typing. They are stable and hold the computer securely.

Weighty and well designed
Color: Gray
The Bestand Laptop Stand is a testament to quality and thoughtful design. From an ergonomic perspective, this stand truly shines. It elevates my laptop screen to eye level, promoting better typing and viewing to reduce strain on my back and neck. Another standout feature is the weighty and solid construction of this stand. It's crafted from a single piece of aluminum, which not only adds to the stand sturdiness but also gives it a sleek, modern look. The surface is spacious and accommodates laptops from 11 to 16 inches. Both the weight of the stand and the silicone treads below and underneath the laptop, and on a metal lip in front, ensure that neither the stand nor the computer move around. The manufacturer claims a 66-pound load-bearing capacity for the stand, and I believe it. This thing is rugged. The inclusion of a slot at the rear for cables to pass through is a small yet incredibly practical detail. It helps keep my workspace organized and tidy. Three slots in the stand aid with heat dissipation and are yet another thoughtful design feature that cools my laptop during extended usage. While the stand excels in many respect, one limitation is its lack of height adjustability. However, if height adjustability is important to you, you’ll find lots of other options for stands here on Amazon. Bottom line: I like it. Chances are, you will too. The Bestand Laptop Stand is a nice blend of durability, functionality, ergonomic comfort, and attractiveness—all at a reasonable price.

Pleasantly Surprised
Color: Gray
Honestly, I was a little hesitant buying a laptop stand that didn't offer an adjustable angle, but for the price, I couldn't pass up checking this out. I'm very glad I did. First, this stand came really well packaged. For a $37 stand, I wasn't expecting much, but box and packaging was impressive. After pulling the stand out of the box, my first impression was this was both weighty and well machined. The edges were smooth, there were no imperfections I could find and the space gray color was dead-on. As far as functionality goes, this is a tremendous improvement form having my MacBook Air sitting directly on my desk; the angle is perfect for my use case, the wiring hole in the back is more than adequate and the whole setup just looks slick. If you're hesitant about buying a cheaper stand that doesn't offer an adjustable angle, don't worry about this one, it does the trick.

Upscale look
These valet trays have a really upscale look and feel. I originally thought they’d make a great Father’s Day gift, but after using them, I realized they’re perfect for everyday use by the front door for mail, keys, wallet, and other essentials. They have a nice weight and perfect size to them and the felt bottom keeps surfaces protected from scratches. The combination of acacia wood and metal gives them a modern, sophisticated style that works well in an office, bedroom, entryway, or nightstand area. They’re both practical and decorative, making it easy to keep things organized while still looking polished. Nice quality product.

Missing screws, can’t contact seller
The trays are really nice, however one came with missing screws. I’ve tried to contact seller via phone number that Amazon provided however the number is disconnected. Great quality other than the missing screws.
