Q: What are the key details of this watch? A: This is an Omega Constellation reference 1562.30 from 1998, made in Switzerland. It features a petite 22.5 mm stainless-steel case and bracelet, a light silver-white textured dial, an engraved Roman numeral bezel, sapphire crystal, and an Omega calibre 1456 quartz movement.
Q: Is 22.5 mm very small on the wrist? A: Yes, this is a compact vintage size designed for an elegant, jewellery-like look. Constellation ’95 cases often wear a touch larger than the number suggests because of their shape, but it is still best suited to buyers who prefer smaller watches. This specific bracelet currently fits a 17 cm wrist or smaller.
Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic? A: It is quartz, so it runs on a battery rather than being powered by wrist movement. Quartz Constellations are popular for their slim profile, convenience and reliable everyday timekeeping.
Q: How often will it need a battery or service? A: Omega lists a battery life of about 32 months for calibre 1456. As with any vintage watch, service needs depend on use and previous history, but Omega generally recommends a full service every 5 to 8 years.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized? A: The bracelet can usually be sized smaller by removing links. Older Constellation bracelets can sometimes require specialist tools or an experienced watchmaker, so professional sizing is recommended. If your wrist is larger than 17 cm, extra links may need to be sourced separately.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, the stainless-steel construction, sapphire crystal and quartz movement make it practical for regular wear. However, as this is a vintage 1998 watch, we recommend careful daily use rather than rough sports or impact-heavy activities.
Q: Can I swim or shower with it? A: The model was originally rated to 30 metres / 3 bar. For a vintage watch of this age, it is safest to treat it as splash-resistant only unless it has been freshly pressure-tested, so we would not recommend swimming or showering in it.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: It is listed in Very Good overall condition, with Very Good internal and external condition. Please note there are visible scratches on the case and bracelet, which are consistent with careful vintage wear.
Q: Does it come with box or papers? A: No. This piece is sold with no box, papers or other original items included, so the sale is for the watch only.
Q: How do you verify authenticity if it has no box or papers? A: Every watch at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by our in-house experts for reference details, serial numbers, dial, movement, case, bracelet and overall construction before it is listed for sale.
