Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.

Q: What is the Omega Lady‑Constellation 25mm from 1998? A: It’s a petite Constellation “My Choice/Manhattan” in stainless steel with an integrated bracelet, a fixed bezel engraved with Roman numerals, and a luminous mother‑of‑pearl dial. Made in Switzerland in 1998, it wears like refined jewellery and is ideal for daily elegance.
Q: Is it quartz or automatic? A: Ladies’ Constellation models in the 25–25.5 mm size from this late‑1990s era are typically quartz, most commonly powered by Omega’s calibre 1456. This delivers precise, battery‑operated timekeeping with minimal upkeep.
Q: What is the water‑resistance rating? A: This generation was originally rated to 3 bar (30 metres). As the watch is from 1998, water‑resistance cannot be guaranteed without a current pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only and avoiding swimming or showering with it.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal? A: Yes. Constellation “My Choice” models of this period are fitted with a domed, scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal with internal anti‑reflective treatment for clarity and durability.
Q: What is the size and fit of this specific watch? A: The case measures 25 mm. The integrated steel bracelet on this piece is sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 15.25 cm and can be reduced by removing links. Extra links are not included with the sale but can often be sourced separately if required.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz model? A: Gently pull the crown to the setting position and rotate to move the hands to the desired time, then push the crown back in firmly. There is no winding needed on a quartz movement. Avoid adjusting the crown when the watch is wet.
Q: How long does the battery last and what is the four‑second jump? A: Typical battery life is about 2–3 years. When the battery is low, the seconds hand will “skip” in four‑second steps (the End‑of‑Life indicator). Have the battery replaced promptly by a professional, who can also check and renew the gaskets.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: It is graded Very Good (353326), showing light traces of wear. There are surface scratches on the case, case back and bracelet consistent with careful use, and the watch presents beautifully on the wrist.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This listing is “watch only” (no accessories). It is fully authenticated by A Retro Tale and delivered securely. We provide a 12‑month movement warranty for peace of mind.
Q: Does the serial number confirm the production period? A: Yes. The serial number 56,611,926 corresponds to the late 1990s, aligning with a circa‑1998 production date for this model.
