My First Omega

Evidently I stumbled onto a somewhat rare Omega watch. It is a mid 1960's Seamaster Deville in a USA manufactured Ross Case KL6292 with a 560 17 jewel movement. I wanted to find an original Omega replacement crystal, but now I think I would be lucky to find a replacement crystal period. I am a Omega newbie so I was hoping to find a much more knowledgeable person that is willing to share. Any help locating a replacement would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Crystals for a front loading Seamaster De Ville shouldn't be too hard to find, Omega did make a crazy number of those watches, there's a Kleerback version of that reference with a rear crystal which would be much harder to find if that's what you're referring to, but the front crystal should be easy. I wrote about the Kleerback KL6292 here if you're interested: https://stories.omegaforums.net/seamaster-deville-kleerback-kl-6292-vb/

I have attached a link that has different take on that. Now I’m a newbie just researching this so if I am pulling wrong information let me know. I have gotten very conflicting opinions from several sites. Take a look and let me know what you think.
