Q: What is the Omega Lady‑Constellation 25mm (1998) Full Set? A: It’s a Swiss‑made, vintage ladies’ wristwatch with a compact 25mm stainless‑steel case and bracelet, a salmon‑pink dial featuring pyramid hour markers, and a bezel engraved with Roman numerals. It has a secure folding clasp and comes as a full set with box, certificate and outer box—ideal for a refined day‑to‑evening look.
Q: Is the movement quartz or automatic in this 25mm Constellation? A: Many late‑1990s 25mm Lady‑Constellation models were fitted with Omega quartz movements, though some variants exist in automatic. We can verify the exact movement in this specific watch on request. If quartz, expect excellent accuracy and a battery life typically around 2–3 years; if automatic, normal wear will keep it powered and you can give it a manual wind (about 20–40 turns) if it has stopped.
Q: How do I set the time (and date, if applicable)? A: Time‑only variants: gently pull the crown out to the setting position and turn the hands to the correct time, then push the crown fully back in. Date variants: Position 0 winds (if automatic), Position 1 quicksets the date, Position 2 sets the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. If you’re unsure which crown positions apply to this piece, we’re happy to guide you.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: While Constellations were originally rated for everyday splash resistance, water resistance on vintage watches cannot be guaranteed without recent gasket replacement and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering and submersion. Always keep the crown fully pushed in and have seals checked by an authorised watchmaker if moisture resistance is important to you.
Q: What type of crystal does it use? A: Most Constellation models from this era feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact watch, please contact us and we’ll verify it.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized? A: This watch fits a wrist up to approximately 16cm (including one extra link) and can be sized by adding/removing links. Additional links can often be sourced subject to availability. Share your wrist measurement and we can size it before dispatch or advise on options.
Q: Can I swap the integrated bracelet for a leather strap? A: The Constellation’s bracelet is integrated; strap conversions require specific Omega end‑links/case adapters for a proper fit. Generic straps won’t attach correctly. We’re happy to advise on compatible OEM or specialist solutions if you prefer a strap look.
Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect? A: A healthy quartz Constellation keeps very accurate time and typically needs a battery every 2–3 years. Automatic variants should keep good time for their era; performance varies with age and service history. A routine service every 5–10 years is generally recommended, or sooner if you notice running fast/slow, moisture, or reduced power reserve. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and wipe it with a soft microfibre cloth after wear.
Q: What exactly is included with this listing and is it authentic? A: This piece is delivered as a full set: box, certificate and outer box. A Retro Tale rigorously inspects and authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. All watches come with a 12‑month mechanical guarantee, free insured DHL shipping, 0% customs fees for EU buyers, and a 14‑day return policy.
Q: What makes this dial and bezel special? A: The salmon‑pink dial offers a warm, elegant tone, elevated by pyramid hour markers for texture and depth. The stainless‑steel bezel carries engraved Roman numerals—a signature Constellation design cue that adds classic character and enhances legibility of hour positions.
