Good Condition
This Omega Constellation 22mm from 2008 pairs a two-tone stainless steel and gold design with a diamond-set bezel and gold dial with diamond hour markers. In good condition with minimal scratches and signs of wear to the case and bracelet, it is a refined choice for weddings, dinner parties or adding polished elegance to everyday office looks.
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.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the standout features of this Omega Constellation? A: This reference combines a 22.5 mm mini case with a two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold design, a diamond-set bezel, a gold-toned dial with diamond hour markers, a sapphire crystal, and the signature integrated Constellation bracelet. It has the refined, jewellery-like look that makes the Constellation line especially popular for dressier everyday wear.
Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic, and does it need winding? A: This model is quartz, powered by Omega calibre 1456, so it does not need manual winding. It runs on a battery rather than a mechanical movement. Omega listed battery life at around 32 months when new, though the remaining life on any pre-owned watch will naturally vary.
Q: Is the crystal scratch-resistant? A: Yes. Omega specifies a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on the inside. Sapphire is much more scratch-resistant than standard mineral glass, which helps this watch stay elegant in regular wear.
Q: Is 22.5 mm considered a small watch? A: Yes. At 22.5 mm, this is a petite ladies size with a delicate, understated presence on the wrist. It wears more like a refined jewellery watch than a large modern sports watch, so it is best suited to someone who prefers classic, compact proportions.
Q: What wrist size will it fit? A: The bracelet on this piece measures approximately 16 cm in perimeter. It should suit wrists around that size or smaller if adjusted, but whether it can be made larger depends on the availability of extra links. If extra links are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch? A: Omega originally rated this reference to 3 bar, which is 30 metres. Even so, with a pre-owned watch from 2008, it is safest to avoid swimming, showering, or prolonged water exposure unless the seals and water resistance have been professionally checked very recently.
Q: How should battery changes and servicing be handled? A: Battery changes are best done by a qualified watchmaker or authorised Omega service centre. With quartz Constellation models, owners and technicians commonly recommend replacing the gasket and checking water resistance at the same time rather than treating it as a simple DIY battery swap.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: This piece is listed in good overall condition. The external condition notes minimal scratches, while the hardware notes scratches on the case and bracelet. As a pre-owned 2008 watch, light signs of wear are normal and form part of its pre-owned character.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This listing states no additional items are included. If an item is not mentioned in the product information, it should be considered not included.
