...regarding the missing bezel on this example. That being said, it is only the 2nd dome dial example of this reference that's I've seen online since 2006. Here is the other one:
The above watch has a steel case. Yours is the first gold-plated one of either dial style that I've seen.
Congratulations on a truly rare find. I hope you are able to source a gold-pated bezel for this watch.
Edit - I was able to find out that case code "ND" means 20 micron yellow gold-plated with a steel back. Exactly correct for this watch; Source - Old Omegas dot com.

My humble latest connie.... 168.0065
Hi All, Just couldn't hold myself to share with you all my latest connie just come few hours ago..... here is the quick and dirty picture.... It comes with omega vintage leather strap which already very britle and crack as well as vintage buckle.... No cl...
Don't call it "humble"
Sherwin, It survived decades and looks very nice. About your question, ND, I could not find this on any of my references. Are you sure that is not "MD"? Here is the table, from the late Chuck Maddox site Cheers, Nilo BA BC BG BT DA DD DG DL MD SP ST TA TI...

It is strange but... pls look at the picture below taken from the seller... I think it is gold plate and should be MD ...

Yes, generally the 168.0065 were pie pans, but some domed dials were also produced. These were a model that primarily went to Japan only and they're not all that common in Western countries. Gold plated models were fewer than SS. Cheers Desmond
PS
It looks as though the bezel is missing. Pic is not all that clear but it looks like it is absent.
You right desmond
it seems the bezel is missing but actually it is not. Will take better picture tomorrow. It was a quick shot under poor lightning and dirty. The dial is flat dial as the one shown in your article. The difference is this is gold plate version. Just get hom...

Thanks Gator, Desmond, The bezel is not missing but comparing to the one you show, different shape? the steel one seems having flatter bezel ...
Ah...I see the bezel now...
...the problem is really the crystal. Doesn't look right and distorts at the rim when viewed straight on. Easily fixed with the correct Omega crystal from an authorized supplier. Very nice!! gatorcpa
Thanks gator for the insight
Yep looking at my 1st blurry picture, it really seems missing the bezel. any clue on the part number? The one installed now have omega logo on the center of crystal but might not be the correct one. Examine under loupe shows on the very corner of the lugs...
I have the part number for you...
crystal 063PZ5236 Plexiglas (weiß) The problem is that I don't think this these are avaliable with a gold trim ring anymore. As I stated above, your example is the only one of this reference I've ever seen in gold or gold plate. If your watchmaker has an ...
Thank you Gator
will ask my watchmaker. The watch will be sent out soon to my watchmaker for cleaning wnd movement overhaul soon. Regards Sherwin
That should be one of the very last . . .
. . . of classic Constellations. One similar, or possibly a C-case, is on my future acquisition list. Thanks very much for sharing, Sherwin.
Thank you for compliment
your black dial connie also inspire me to hunt one..... Not yet sucesss so far Regards Sherwin
