I have just picked up this Constellation De Luxe ref. 2853.
I can’t see Omega logo in the center of plexy.
Is it surely an aftermarket crystal, or sometimes aren’t they signed?
If I would subsitute it with an new and original one, which is the part number of the spare part from Omega Service?
Thank you very much.

The case is sharp and nice, pretty sure the logo should be there if original glass

063PX5000 is the current replacement for this case.

Ok, I understood. You are right.
I must find a crystal closed in the original Omega packaging.

Hello again.
I looked for original crystal 063PX5000 everywhere without any success.

Maight I keep the current crystal, properly polished?

Maybe to go to the next watchmaker with ability to get Omega spareparts would be an good idea also.

I would polish the crystal and wear and enjoy.

Friend of mine picked up a gold constellation from the 60’s I believe. He said the omega symbol was still on the crystal but could only be seen with a loop after all that time. I have no idea if that’s common and I’m only relating what he told me as I didn’t see it myself but maybe try the loupe just to test this theory as I’m curious now.

I will go ahead in this way, at least for now. Thank you!

I have already used a loop. I check again with more attention.

How about the tension ring, it was cut or one piece?
