Q: What defines the Omega Lady‑Constellation 22.5mm Diamond (1998)? A: A refined, petite Constellation from the late‑1990s ‘95 generation, featuring a 22.5mm stainless steel case and integrated bracelet, a pink mother‑of‑pearl dial with diamond hour markers, and a bezel engraved with Roman numerals. Swiss made, Reference 1562.65, year 1998.
Q: Is it quartz or automatic? A: This is a Swiss quartz model, so it doesn’t require winding. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years. If you notice the seconds hand jumping in multi‑second steps, that’s a common low‑battery indicator on many Omega quartz movements—book a battery change promptly to avoid leakage.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal? A: Yes. Constellation models of this era are fitted with scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal for improved durability and clarity over acrylic glass.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant? A: These petite Constellation references were originally rated to 30 metres. As this is a 1998 vintage piece, we recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only unless it has passed a recent pressure test. Avoid swimming, showering or submersion.
Q: Will it fit my wrist and can it be adjusted? A: This specific watch fits wrists up to 16.5 cm. The integrated bracelet can be reduced by removing links. If you need a larger size, additional links can often be sourced separately; no extra links are included with this listing.
Q: What is the condition of this particular piece? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use. Expect surface scratches on the case, bezel, case back and bracelet consistent with careful wear. Internally, it is also rated Very Good.
Q: What is included and is it authentic? A: It is sold as the watch only (no original box or papers). A Retro Tale guarantees 100% authenticity and provides a 12‑month warranty on the movement’s function, free insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers.
Q: How do I set the time? A: Gently pull the crown out to the setting position and rotate to set the hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly when finished to ensure the case is sealed. Avoid changing the time while the crown feels resistant and never force it.
Q: How should I care for the mother‑of‑pearl dial, diamonds and steel? A: Keep the watch away from perfumes, chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wear. For the bracelet, use a lightly damp cloth with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly—avoid soaking. Store the watch separately to prevent scratches.
Q: Are the diamond hour markers factory‑set? A: Constellation models of this era were offered with factory‑set diamond hour markers, and this dial is configured with diamond markers consistent with the reference. Omega typically uses high‑grade white diamonds on its jewellery‑set dials.
