Omega Constellation 24mm 2016 Watch

Q: What size is this Omega Constellation, and how will it wear?
A: This watch has a 24 mm case, giving it a refined and elegant look on the wrist. It is ideal if you prefer a smaller watch profile, and according to the product information, this bracelet currently fits a 16.5 cm wrist or smaller.

Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic?
A: This Constellation 24 mm is a quartz model, meaning it is battery powered rather than self-winding. Quartz movements are valued for their accuracy and convenience, and battery life on this type of model is typically measured in years rather than months, although the exact remaining life on a pre-owned piece can vary.

Q: What materials and design details does this watch feature?
A: This piece features a stainless steel and gold-tone case and bracelet, a mother-of-pearl dial, diamond hour markers, a Roman numeral engraved bezel, and a deployment clasp closure. These details give it the polished, recognisable look associated with the Constellation line.

Q: Is the watch water resistant?
A: This model was originally produced with a 100 metre water-resistance rating. However, with any pre-owned watch, water resistance depends on the age and condition of the seals, so we recommend avoiding swimming or bathing unless the watch has been pressure tested after purchase.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the internal condition is very good, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear.

Q: Does it come with box or papers?
A: This watch comes with certificates. Everything included with the item is shown in the product information, so if a box or any other extra is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Bracelet watches like this can usually be adjusted by a watch professional through link removal or refitting. Please note that this specific piece currently fits a 16.5 cm wrist or smaller, so if your wrist is larger, we recommend checking sizing before purchase.

Q: How should I care for this Omega Constellation?
A: To keep it looking its best, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid contact with perfume, cosmetics and harsh chemicals, and store it in a dry place when not in use. Omega also recommends regular water-resistance checks and periodic full servicing through an authorised service centre.

Q: What makes the Omega Constellation distinctive?
A: The Constellation is known for its elegant integrated bracelet design, Roman numeral bezel, and the signature side claws on the case. On this piece, those elements are paired with a mother-of-pearl dial and diamond indexes for a particularly refined finish.

Q: How do you authenticate the watch?
A: Every watch at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed for authenticity by in-house specialists. We assess construction, finishing, dial details, markings, movement characteristics and overall consistency before a piece is offered for sale.
