Vintage OMEGA Constellation 168. 018 Automatic Watch W/Stainless Rice Bracelet
Item History & Price
Vintage OMEGA Constellation #168.018 Automatic WatchStainless Steel "Beads of Rice" Bracelet #555Model movement 564
My husband bought this watch when stationed in Viet Nam in1968. The Omega booklet included is stamped "A/AF Exchange" as he bought it at the Armed Forces PX. Excellent used condition for a 50 year watch! Original "beads of rice" adjustable stainless steel band. Runs perfectly.
This may be very rare. We have been trying to find watches similar to it... to no avail. There is one for sale in Brazil but even that one is different (It has illuminated hands). He had a watchmaker open it for the model number. It looks like many of the "pie pan" watches, but has a flatter face. Many others are similar but have two "ll" s for the twelve. He hates to part with these watches but never wears them any more.
