Q: What is the Omega Lady‑Constellation 22.5mm (1998)? A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made ladies’ Constellation in stainless steel with a petite 22.5mm case, a salmon‑coloured dial and a bezel engraved with Roman numerals. It comes on an integrated stainless‑steel bracelet and offers a refined, jewellery‑like presence ideal for dressy or everyday wear.
Q: Which movement does it use, and what battery life should I expect? A: Late‑1990s Lady‑Constellation models of this size typically use a Swiss quartz movement. Battery life is usually around 2–3 years depending on use and storage. If you’d like us to confirm the exact calibre in this specific watch, please contact us and we’ll verify it for you.
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. Many 22.5mm Lady‑Constellation dials are time‑only (no date); if you need confirmation for this exact piece, we’re happy to check.
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. Keep the crown fully pushed in and have gaskets checked if light moisture resistance is important to you.
Q: What type of crystal does it have? A: Most Constellation models from this era are fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact watch, please get in touch and we’ll verify it for you.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized? A: This watch is currently sized to fit a wrist of approximately 16cm or smaller. The integrated steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing/adding links; adding length requires sourcing compatible genuine Omega links (subject to availability). Share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise sizing options before dispatch.
Q: Can I swap the bracelet for a leather strap? A: The Lady‑Constellation uses an integrated bracelet design, so straightforward strap swaps are limited and may require model‑specific end links or custom work. If you’re exploring strap options, contact us and we’ll advise feasibility for this reference and size.
Q: What is the condition of this watch? A: Overall preloved condition is Good, with visible scratches on the case, bezel and bracelet consistent with careful vintage wear. Please review the photos and measurements—they provide the best representation of the watch’s character and patina.
Q: How should I care for the stainless steel and dial? A: Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, perfumes and lotions. Store the watch away from humidity and extreme temperatures, and avoid strong knocks or magnets. Periodically have the gaskets inspected if light moisture resistance matters to you.
Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect from a vintage quartz Omega? A: A healthy quartz movement typically keeps very good time (often within ±15 seconds per month). Replace the battery every 2–3 years, and consider routine checks every 5–10 years or sooner if you notice issues (e.g., stopping, moisture). Keep the watch away from strong magnets and wipe it clean after wear.
