Hi, I am new to Omega Forums,

I am trying to figure out if my Omega Constellation 168.004 from between 1966-67 is an original or a redial.

I have a feeling it is a redial but was hoping to hear from the vintage experts for confirmation.

I appreciate any help

Thank You

Best Regards

John

Looks good to me. But these black dialed Omegas really need to be seen in person.

Hope this helps,

Thank You for getting back to me Dablitzer,

I really appreciate it.

The bottom of the dial says T Swiss Made T

Would this be present on an original non redialed constellation?

Thank You so much, I really appreciate it

Best Regards

John

Yes.

But more and rediallers are getting smart about that.

No problem John,

It would be on these 60's models. Generally these had onyx (black inserts) markers with "Swiss made" or just markers with tritium "T Swiss made T" from my experience.

So In this case I wouldn't worry as the dial font looks to be all present and correct.
