    A few questions on my mind:

    - Is this Constellation form 1968?
    - Does it miss a bezel or were there ones without?
    - Where and how would i get a replacement bezel?

    Thank you!

    Looks quite polished. You'll need to show the serial no to get a date

    Many cases with this reference in different materials, but only 2 bezels available:

    082BA1680017 | BEZEL YEL GOLD 18K 2N18

    082ST1680017 | STEEL BEZEL

    So since this looks like yellow gold, you could go full pop for the solid 18k version, or get the steel version and have it plated.

    Cheers, Al

    great, thx!
    the watch is gold plated/filled, so that would be 14k, right?
    either way, where would i look for such bezels?

    Any watchmaker with an Omega parts account should be able to get it for you.
    Or eBay...

    The gold capped watches are 14k. Omega service would be quite expensive for this sort of vintage watch, so your best bet would be to find a watchmaker with an Omega parts account who can service the watch as needed, or at least supply and install the bezel.
