Omega bracelet

I have this vintage Omega Constellation automatic chronometer from my grandfather. I think it’s from around 1965 and got it fixed by Omega in Switzerland. I think my grandfather removed the original (leather) bracelet and it now it has a steel one not from Omega. Although I like it, I am looking for an original Omega bracelet and I think the beads of rice is the right one. Does anyone know where I can find a reliable seller for it and if it’s findeable? I live close to an Omega store in Amsterdam, so might ask them, but saw this forum. Many thanks!

Welcome @BobvE1999

Looks like a 168.018 which has 19mm lug spacing.
These BORs are less common than the 18mm versions.

According to this list:

This might be of use, that is if the photos come across ok and people can read them.
Case ref / bracelet ref / end pieces ref

You’ll need a 1068 bracelet with 555 end links

Hope that helps.

Very nice looking watch, you have an example with the not so common hour markers!

556 end links should also work but both are a bit tricky to find.

Ebay is a good source, if you find one ask here on the forum before you buy it
