    Thanks for the product numbers, but what describes this? Constellation, yes, but what kind of bracelet is this? The watch face? The head type?

    How would I go about getting a box, papers, or any extra links or anything else?

    Thanks for any help you may give!

    I've never seen that bracelet before...it's like a workman's Jubilee.

    It's a solid gold bracelet on solid gold case and dial. Gold parts are not easy to come by. Best to try ebay and sale forums. You may be lucky.

    Can you take some pictures of the back as well as any numbers or writings on the bracelet?

    See page 5 of the article linked below:

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/nwtxwmkgyfl/C-Shape OMega Constellation.pdf

    Ref. 368.0009, basically a 168.0009 with a factory fitted gold bracelet. I think this may have been to first Omega to retail for $1,000 due to all the gold in the case and bracelet.

    Boxes would have depended on the market, but should be red, leather and have Constellation in gold leaf inside. Papers and extra links would be very rare.

    Very nice piece,

    Thank you for your help!

    What is the top of the Omega food chain these days? Is the Constellation model still there at the top?
