No imagination! How about buying two, you know “his’n’hers” at 34mm you might just get away with it 😗

Congrats 👍 it looks really stunning and shiny.

Enjoy it and take care of the steel bracelet, they are difficult to find😀

That is a very good choice for your only watch. Classy.

Ain’t gonna happen, the only Omega she likes is the tiny 17mm cal 661 I gave her that came with the 1501 Speedybox I snagged! Better try source another of those and say ‘look at this funny watch it came with for me’...

I'm afraid I have no idea of the terminology around straps, so can't answer that question directly. Here is a pic though:


That’s not exactly the bricks one that you usually see on these, but I bet it will look nice, just the same. Those flat links work well with the watch’s aesthetic.

‘One of the most underrated “Conties” available today...’

One of the what now?

Pass.
Maybe the same people that wrote this:- “Our team at Continental Tire has worked tirelessly to develop a tire that would stand-up to the demands of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,”

I don't own an Omega Constellation yet but they are certainly getting to me.🥰 Beautifully elegant watches and I had to photograph a couple I saw in a 'posh UK watch shop' last month.

Is this one the correct bracelet for the watch? I thought the bricks bracelets belonged on Grand Lux models?

Not sure if these front-loading 168.025 Connie's count as being c-cased, but any excuse to post a picture 😀

Originally delivered to Japan, if not mistaken.

Not looking to add another Connie, but one of these exotics would be right up my alley.

I don't know the answer to that one mate. I just saw it in a watch shop in the UK (alongside the other one that I posted) and thought it looked very elegant.😕

I'm sure one of the Constellation experts will know.👍 @tyrantlizardrex is keen on these Omega watches, give him a shout.😀

No idea chap.

On the c-cased I think you’re right, but on other models... ?

So I posted the first picture of mine on my wrist on Sunday, and I just realized the date was wrong. I shared that. Publicly. 🤨

If nothing else it demonstrates why I needed a watch I guess.

Anyway, in case anyone is using this thread to tell time...

by the way, is there a non-chronometer (166.) version of this Constellation? I haven't seen any.

I wondered the same. I keep seeing the reference number, but my searches come up empty.
