Hi everyone. I am new to the forum and joined looking for some help identifying a watch that was handed down to me from my dad.

I can see that it is a Constellation based on the face of the watch, but don't know much beyond that.
I don't see any serial number on the back of the watch either.
Any help would be appreciated in learning more about this watch.

 

All the information you want is inside.

 

Hi and welcome @johnnyomega - you are correct you have yourself a Constellation, specifically a C-Cased model in what looks to me to be a nice unpolished condition, could be a cal: 564 movement but as mentioned above the info on serial & movement etc. is stored inside so have someone qualified open it up and be sure to take pictures of the inside.

Here is an entire thread on here regarding C-cased models you can read about here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/the-c-cased-constellation-thread.72308/page-4

Enjoy

 

A lovely heirloom! The C-case Connies have a dedicated following here and lots of love. @DJG2645 has already pointed you in the right direction.

Looks like you have the correct brick style bracelet for it, which is a plus - these watches had the option of a bracelet at purchase rather than a strap. If the watch hasn’t been worn or wound for while, you’d best take it to an independent watchmaker for a service, especially if you are intending to wear the watch regularly. Once you find a good watchmaker in your local area (one who is used to working on vintage Omegas and is sympathetic to keeping things as they are), he/she can open up the case for you, photo the movement number and reference (printed on the inside of the caseback). If it is cal 564 inside, you’ve done well - one of Omega's most celebrated movements.

There’s an understated elegance about these watches - and they are excellent daily wearers, IMO.

 

Your dad has (had?) excellent taste

 

Thanks everyone @wilderbeast @DJG2645 @ConElPueblo for the info. Looks like I will be on the hunt for a reputable watch service to have a look!

 

- if you post your location, members here may be able to make recommendations. The watchmaker will be able to confirm the calibre, photo the Movement number (which will help give an approximate date of production) and the reference. And don’t forget to post some lovely photos of the beast on your wrist when it’s all done!

 

@wilderbeast Thanks for the suggestion!
I am located in Orange County, California; Irvine specifically.
If anyone has any suggestions for reputable service specialists that would be helpful!
