Hello OF.
I just came across with that Omega Constellation dial and was wondering
what is correct case for that dial to start a project.
Dial diameter is 28.4mm, cal.564
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So far from my research, probably 168.015 or 168.018, right?

Your dial style/reference assumptions look to be correct.
However, since the two references have quite different case styles you would need to confirm dial size for each.
Unfortunately, these two references probably have the least representation of 60s Connies amongst the Connie collecting members on OF so you might struggle for an answer unless someone like @hoipolloi has studied them in detail.

Thank you, Peemacgee for your prompt reply.
Usually Constellation dials are in 27.5 or 29.5 mm
But 28.4?
Let's wait and see

I have no idea what ref that dial will fit in. And I have no idea if those two M's are correct or not.
A dial for 168.010 or 018 is 29.30 in diameter

Yours may be for a late C case or something that I have not collected yet

The 168.015 is looking favourite, it has straight sided M’s.

Hey I don’t want to hog ur thread but my I inquire how you acquired that dial. I have a Connie, not sure of the reference, that has a ding in dial between 11-12. I have been thinking of seeking out a new dial but my searches thus far have been fruitless. Cool you found a good solid one just curious how you did so. Don’t mind the blurry photo I was just trying to capture the damage between 11-12 thanks
