There were some diamond dialled connies as well as some diamond bezelled Connies in the 60s. One diamond bezel model had the case number 168.7190 (Omega Legend p 371)
There were some that were made as 'jewelry' watches but Ive never been able to determine if they were orders, pre-market short runs or specials for some Asian countries.
Most of these dials I believe had the diamonds added as ornament after market. Although a Thai Connie collector has one that he says was done by the Thai importer pre-market.
I'd communicate with someone at the Omega museum via the Omega website before taking the plunge though.
Cheers

: I am contemplating the purchase of a 1962
: vintage Constellation with a diamond dial.
: It has baguettes at the 12, 3, 6, and 9
: position, and a small round diamond at each
: of the other positions. Does anyone know if
: this could be a factory dial, or is it an
: aftermarket upgrade? The piepan dial appears
: original, but I can't find any info on the
: diamonds. Thanks
