    Hello All,

    I bought this watch about 20yrs ago at a vintage watch shop. I've been searching online for more information but the closest I've been able to get based on image searches and countless websites is it's an Omega Constellation, maybe 14381. If anyone can help shed light, I'd be very appreciative. Thank you for your time.

    It is a “C-case” constellation. Possibly model 168.017 which you can search on google. To get further information you will need to take the back off and there will be references on the caseback reverse and on the movement itself

    Google constellation collectors blog.
    There is an article dedicated to C-cases.
    There is also a recent thread on OF for C-cases -you can add yours.

    Thank you so much. I will definitely google it. However, I don't dare take the caseback off myself. I'm also googling movement to see what it really means... I'm such a newbie, it's not even funny. I did call a few vintage watch shops (here in Singapore) and intend to bring the watch in for a closer look. I can update this thread if you're interested. Thank you again!

    Thank you for the article link! I'm sure it'll be a great read, and once I figure out what OF is, I will add mine for sure! This is much appreciated

    I understand, probably a wise move. Every starts somewhere. Get the watchmaker to take the back off and get shots of the movement including the movement number and reference number. Also back of caseback for model number. You can then get information on age and condition etc.
