Q: What defines this Omega Lady‑Constellation 22.5mm Diamond (1998) Ref. 1466.36.00? A: It’s a petite Constellation “My Choice” era model from 1998 with a 22.5mm stainless‑steel case, a diamond‑set bezel with diamond hour markers, a patterned logo dial, and an integrated stainless‑steel bracelet with a folding clasp. It runs on a precise Swiss quartz movement for easy, reliable daily wear.
Q: Is it quartz or automatic, and what maintenance does it need? A: This watch is quartz (battery‑powered). Typical battery life is around 2–3 years. We recommend professional battery replacement so the gaskets can be checked at the same time. If you notice the time stopping or irregular minute‑hand jumps, it’s time to replace the battery.
Q: What crystal does it have? A: The Constellation Mini of this generation is fitted with a domed, scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal with internal anti‑reflective treatment for clarity.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: These late‑1990s 22.5mm Constellation Mini models were rated to 3 bar (30 metres). As a vintage piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without a fresh pressure test, so we advise treating it as splash‑resistant only and avoiding submersion, showering or swimming.
Q: Which calibre does this era typically use? A: Most 22.5mm Constellation Mini references from this period use Omega Calibre 1456, a slim, two‑hand quartz movement known for reliability. As with any vintage watch, small variations can occur by reference and production batch.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: This specific piece is sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 16cm. The bracelet can be shortened by removing links; additional links to enlarge the fit are not included but may be sourced separately.
Q: Are the diamonds factory‑set and what quality are they? A NB: The bezel and hour markers are factory‑set for this reference. Omega typically uses high‑colour white diamonds (often described as Top Wesselton) on Constellation models; precise grading for vintage pieces is not specified on the watch itself. Our team has inspected the stones for correctness and secure setting.
Q: What is the condition of this watch?< sop> A: Overall Very Good with light traces of use. Expect fine surface scratches on the case, case back and bracelet consistent with age; please review the photos for detail.
Q: How do I set the time? A: Gently pull the crown out to the hand‑setting position, rotate to set the time, then push the crown back in to secure. Ensure it is fully pressed to help maintain water resistance.
Q: What is included, and is there a warranty and returns policy? A: Delivered with our travel pouch (original Omega box and papers not included). A Retro Tale guarantees 100% authenticity, provides free insured shipping, a 12‑month warranty covering the movement’s function, and a 14‑day return policy for peace of mind.
