Q: What size is this Omega Constellation watch?
A: This is a compact ladies’ Omega Constellation commonly referred to as a 22 mm model. It has an elegant, smaller wrist presence that suits those who prefer refined, jewellery-like proportions.

Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic?
A: This model uses a quartz movement, so it is battery powered rather than automatic. That makes it convenient for everyday wear, with no need for winding.

Q: How often does the battery usually need changing?
A: Omega lists a battery life of around 32 months for this reference, although real-world battery life can vary depending on age, servicing history, and use. If the watch begins losing time or stops, a professional battery replacement is recommended.

Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, it is well suited to daily wear thanks to its stainless steel case and bracelet, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and timeless Constellation design. As this is a pre-owned piece in good condition, we still recommend wearing it with normal care to help preserve it.

Q: Is it water resistant?
A: This reference was originally rated to 30 metres. For a vintage pre-owned watch, that should be treated as splash resistant only unless it has been recently pressure tested, so it is best to avoid swimming, showering, or submerging it in water.

Q: Will it fit my wrist?
A: This watch is fitted for a wrist of 16.5 cm or smaller. If your wrist is larger than that, the bracelet is unlikely to fit comfortably without additional links.

Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted easily?
A: Constellation bracelets can require specific tools and careful handling, so sizing is best done by a professional watchmaker or experienced jeweller. This helps avoid damage to the bracelet or clasp.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: The overall condition is rated good, with the internal condition noted as very good. Please note there are scratches on the case and bracelet, which are consistent with normal wear on a pre-owned watch.

Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or extra items?
A: No, this piece is listed with no accompanying product information. If anything additional is included, it will always be stated in the product information.

Q: How do I know this Omega is authentic?
A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is carefully checked for authenticity by specialists. For this watch, identifying details such as the Omega reference 1566.56.00 and serial number 59349896 support the model identification, and the watch is sold as an authentic pre-owned Omega piece.
