The under appreciated C-shape
Gerald Genta Design Trio😊
Three Omega Constellation ref. 168.017, cal. 564 from 1968/69 with “Fumè” and “Texture” dials😊 under appreciated and still affordable😊
This is the last one I got, rare fumé dial with "spider" cracks in the dial
This one with 'Texture" dial
And "texture" dial on this on also 
good hunting!
these are indeed very special watches. i would love to see the fume dial one day.
many thanks for sharing.

Awesome pieces
When compared to their modern siblings- the Omega Globemaster -one can easily see that the C shape connies are much more balanced in their proportions even if I otherwise have a lot of respect for the Globemaster line
I've never owned an Omega 'C' . . .
. . . but did have a Seiko equivalent for a little while.

Most Omega 'C' models are branded like yours, Thomas - as Constellations. There were Genève and Seamaster Cosmic versions as well, including manual wind and date-less models.
A friend of mine recently inherited a SM Cosmic 'C' with date (cal 610) which was serviced by my watchmaker, but sold off almost immediately afterwards. Had I known Ray was going to sell it on eBay, I would've gladly taken it off his hands.
Usually hesitant to use the word 'iconic', but in this case, Omega's 'C' cases were icons of their generation.
Thanks for sharing, Thomas!
Best,

A wonderful little collection!
I've always liked the "C" Constellations and have a handful myself in everything from steel to gold. Unfortunately, none have that great fume' dial, though! Every one of them still runs with in COSC specs after 45-50 years.
