Q: What is the Omega Lady‑Constellation 22.5mm Ref. 1465.71.00 (1998)? A: It is a petite “My Choice” Constellation Mini from 1998 with a 22.5mm stainless steel case, Roman‑numeral bezel with diamond details, and a light blue dial set with diamond hour markers on a matching stainless steel bracelet—elegant, jewellery‑like proportions ideal for daily wear.
Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic? A: This model is powered by a Swiss quartz movement (Omega calibre 1456), prized for accuracy and low maintenance. It does not require winding.
Q: Does it have a scratch‑resistant crystal? A: Yes. The Constellation Mini generation features a domed, scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective treatment on the inside for better legibility.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant? A: When new, comparable Constellation Mini models were rated to 30 metres (3 bar). As this is a vintage piece from 1998, we do not guarantee water resistance without a recent pressure test. Please treat it as splash‑resistant only and avoid swimming or showering with the watch.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: This specific piece fits wrists up to 16.5cm in circumference. The bracelet can be sized down by removing links. If you need a larger fit, additional links may be sourced separately subject to availability.
Q: Are the diamonds original? A: Yes—the bezel accents and dial hour markers are factory‑set Omega diamonds for this reference, contributing to the watch’s refined, jewellery‑forward aesthetic.
Q: What is the condition? A: Rated Very Good. It shows light traces of use consistent with age. The hardware is shiny with some surface scratches visible on close inspection. Please review the photos for full details.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This listing is “watch only” and does not include the original box or papers. It is sold with A Retro Tale’s full authentication guarantee, secure packaging, and a 12‑month movement warranty.
Q: What maintenance should I expect? A: For quartz models, a fresh battery is typically needed every 2–3 years. We recommend replacing the battery and checking gaskets together, and arranging a full service if you notice condensation, erratic timekeeping, or moisture ingress.
Q: How do I set the time? A: Gently pull the crown out to its setting position and rotate to move the hands to the desired time. Push the crown back in firmly afterwards to help maintain the case seal.
