Hi…I’m brand new on here and wondered if anyone could help me with sourcing a replacement crystal gasket and reflector ring for my 168.0056 Constellation? Any help will be hugely appreciated!

Hi…I’ve trawled eBay, literally everywhere I can think of online. One of the biggest challenges seems to be pinning down the part number. I may grab the vernier and look for a non Omega part?

Perrin look to have lots…but none that seem to fit the bill!

I think you could use a generic gasket. IMO these watches deserve a sapphire crystal.
here's the Omega part number

Fantastic, thank you very much (and the spec sheet is a real bonus). Here’s hoping!

That's quite an old version, so some parts have changed...

The original gasket 098EG0021 is discontinued, and replaced by 298ZSZ009612.

Cheers, Al

Thanks for the additional info…any idea of a source? I’m waiting to hear back from Scotchwatch but have drawn a blank elsewhere!
