new bezel for Constellation?

LasVeigas · Sep 8, 2021

Hi! I have an Omega Constellation (2852?). Probably early 60's, it's been my fathers and has not been treated kindly. It's been missing the bezel for many years and I've tried to locate a new one without success. The glass also need changing. Anyone with information on where a new bezel can be found?

best, Magnus Veigas

Welcome @LasVeigas
Your watch looks to be a gold cap 168.005 dogleg pie pan.
The bezel would have been 14k solid gold and I’m afraid will be very difficult to find on its own.
You could have one made or look for a similar donor model and salvage the bezel from that.

Thanks for the info! Any leads on where I could get one made? Or find a donor? I'm new to watch "collection" - I'm an amateur in every sense of the word!

If you tell us roughly where you are in the world you may get some suggestions for making a new bezel (which would likely be expensive)
For finding a cost-effective donor, local sales pages or eBay are probably your best bet

I’m in Sweden. I’ll start going through eBay tonight! Thanks.
