Need help identifying and service questions.

Greetings.

This is my father's Omega Constellation that he wore for many years and was left to me. I don't believe it has ever been serviced, and I believe he purchased it back in the early 70s. I need a little help identifying it, and suggestions as to the best way to get it serviced into wearable condition. I'd also appreciate any thoughts on straps of bands that would go well with it.

Thanks!

Pie pan Constellation.
Reference number and possibly date code should be inside the back of the case. Movement calibre will be a 3 digit number on the movement.
More likely from early 60's.
I prefer black straps on steel cases, I think they matched better than brown.
For service I would ask around if you know any watch guys in your area, or maybe someone from Texas will give you a suggestion, here.

Thanks for the info! I was going to take it to D's in San Diego the next time I am out that way. Early 60s makes sense now that I think about it.
