Q: What is the Omega Lady-Constellation 19mm (1998)? A: A petite ladies’ Omega from 1998 featuring a 19mm square stainless steel case, a white dial with stud hour markers, and an integrated stainless steel bracelet. It closes with a fold-over clasp accented by a gold‑tone Omega logo. Swiss-made and elegantly jewellery-like on the wrist.
Q: Is this model quartz or automatic? A: Late‑1990s Lady‑Constellation pieces in this compact size were typically fitted with a precise Swiss quartz movement, prized for accuracy and low maintenance. Battery life is usually around 2–3 years, and many Omega quartz calibres show an end‑of‑life “4‑second jump” on the seconds hand when a battery change is due.
Q: Does it have a scratch‑resistant crystal? A: Yes. This generation of Constellation uses a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal for improved durability and clarity compared with older acrylic crystals.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant? A: When new, comparable late‑1990s ladies’ Constellations were rated to around 30 metres (3 bar). As a vintage watch, we cannot guarantee current water resistance without a recent pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only and avoiding swimming, showering, or submersion.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: This example fits a wrist circumference of up to 17 cm, including the two extra links supplied. The integrated bracelet can be reduced by removing links for a smaller fit.
Q: How do I set the time on a quartz Constellation? A: Gently pull the crown out to the hand‑setting position (the seconds will stop), rotate to set the hands to the desired time, then press the crown back in to restart the movement. Avoid adjusting the watch while it is wet and ensure the crown is fully pressed in after setting.
Q: How does the 19mm square case wear compared with round watches? A: Square cases tend to wear slightly larger than their round equivalents due to the diagonal, but this remains a very petite, discreet size with a refined, jewellery‑like presence.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: It is graded Very Good, showing light traces of use consistent with its age. There are surface scratches on the case, case back and bracelet, visible under close inspection but not distracting on the wrist.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: The watch is supplied with 2 extra bracelet links. The listing does not include the original box or papers; the watch will be delivered in secure packaging.
Q: Is it authentic and is there a warranty? A: A Retro Tale guarantees 100% authenticity. Your purchase includes a 12‑month warranty covering the movement’s mechanical function, plus insured shipping and a 14‑day return policy for peace of mind.
