My father got this Omega in a garage sale in the 1990s, never wore it, and recently gave it to me. If I am correct in my research, it is a 1973 166.0169 Geneve. My main question is about the bracelet. Does anyone know what sort of bracelet it is, and where I could find end-links for it? I do not think it came with the watch, since Omega's website says the model sold on a leather strap, but given the omega clasp, I am not sure. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that is not an Omega bracelet, just a clasp. 568 end links are available at Ofrei’s for the 1193 bracelet. Bracelet plus end links will set you back a couple hundred for sure.

Is it missing the bezel?

No the bezel is there.

Also, JB Champion did make bracelets for US Omegas, can't say from the photos if this is one of them or not.

Good luck with your search. Wow makes a change that the "how much is it worth" question was not asked!!
