Omega Constellation 168.044 - correct bracelet and end links

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased an Omega Constellation ref. 168.044 from a vintage shop in Tokyo and I’m trying to identify the correct original steel bracelet and end links for this model.

Here are the details:

• Model: Omega Constellation 1969
• Reference: 168.044
• Movement: (likely cal. 1011 / 1012 - I can confirm if needed)
• Case: TV-shaped case, stainless steel
• Lug width: 20 mm

The watch is currently on a non-original strap, and I would like to source a period-correct Omega steel bracelet if possible.

I’m trying to identify the correct configuration before searching on the secondary market.

Could anyone help with:

1. The correct original bracelet reference(s) for the 168.044
2. The corresponding end links
3. Any known compatible alternatives from the same era
4. Where could I find it? (Online or in Paris shop)

Also, if you have examples or photos of original configurations, that would be extremely helpful.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Thanks a lot, that’s very helpful.

Just to make sure I get this right before sourcing one:

Would a 1163 bracelet with 691 end links be a confirmed correct factory configuration for the 168.044, or just a known compatible combination?

Also, do the 691 end links fit the case flush without gaps on this reference?

If anyone has a confirmed original example or photos, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks again
