Q: What is the Omega Lady‑Constellation 22.5mm Ref. 1561.61 (1998)? A: It’s a vintage ladies’ Omega Constellation from 1998 with a compact 22.5mm stainless‑steel case, a pink dial featuring star‑shaped hour markers, and a stainless‑steel bracelet. The bezel is engraved with Roman numerals, giving a refined, timeless look. This listing is delivered as a full set with original box and certificate.
Q: Which movement does it use and how long will the battery last? A: Late‑1990s Lady‑Constellation 22.5mm models are typically powered by a Swiss quartz movement. Battery life is usually around 2–3 years depending on use and storage. Most take a 1.55V silver‑oxide cell; please have a professional confirm the exact battery type for this specific watch.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz Constellation? A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position and turn the hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly when finished. This 22.5mm configuration is typically time‑only (no date), so there’s no date‑setting step.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it in the rain or swim with it? A: As a vintage watch, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering or submersion. If light moisture resistance is important, have the gaskets inspected/replaced by an authorised watchmaker and keep the crown fully pushed in.
Q: What type of crystal does it have? A: Most Omega Constellation models from this era feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact reference, please contact us and we’ll verify it for you.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized? A: This piece fits a wrist up to approximately 17.5cm as listed. The stainless‑steel bracelet can usually be resized by removing or adding links. Adding length may require sourcing compatible genuine Omega links; share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise options or size it before dispatch.
Q: Can I swap the bracelet for a leather strap? A: Many Lady‑Constellation models use an integrated bracelet design, so strap changes are not straightforward and require correct Omega end‑links or model‑specific parts. Contact us and we’ll advise feasibility and options for this exact reference.
Q: What makes this dial and bezel design special? A: The pink dial with star‑shaped hour markers offers a distinctive, feminine aesthetic that nods to the Constellation theme. The engraved Roman‑numeral bezel frames the compact case elegantly, making it a refined choice for dressy moments and polished everyday wear.
Q: What servicing and accuracy should I expect from a vintage quartz Omega? A: Quartz watches typically keep excellent time with minimal upkeep. Replace the battery every 2–3 years, and consider a routine movement check and gasket inspection every 5–10 years or sooner if you notice issues (e.g., stopping, condensation). Keep the watch away from strong magnets, chemicals and extreme heat, and wipe it with a soft microfibre cloth after wear.
Q: Is it authentic, and what warranty and shipping do you offer? A: A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. This watch is delivered as a full set with original box and certificate. All watches include a 12‑month movement guarantee. We offer free, fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers; contact us for any specific delivery or warranty questions.
