Perfect for a chic dinner date or gallery opening, this 2004 Omega Constellation's 22mm profile adds understated elegance. The pink mother-of-pearl dial with diamond hour markers brings a subtle sparkle, while the stainless steel case and bracelet make it a polished choice for day-to-night wear.
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 exactly is this model? A: It is an Omega Constellation “My Choice” Mini in stainless steel, reference 1566.66, with a petite 22 mm case (often listed by Omega as approximately 22.5 mm). It features a mother‑of‑pearl dial with diamond hour markers, Roman‑numeral bezel, and an integrated mono‑rang bracelet. Year of production: 2004.
Q: What movement does it use and how long does the battery last? A: This Constellation Mini uses a high‑precision quartz movement. Typical battery life for Omega quartz models is around 2–4 years, depending on calibre and usage. When the battery nears end of life, the seconds hand usually jumps at multi‑second intervals as an indicator; a fresh battery and seal check are then advised.
Q: Is it water resistant and can I swim with it? A: When new, Constellation Mini models of this era were commonly rated for everyday water resistance (around 3 bar/30 metres). As this is a 2004 vintage piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without a current pressure test, so we recommend avoiding swimming or showering and keeping the watch dry unless it has been freshly tested and resealed.
Q: What materials are used for the crystal and diamonds? A: The watch is fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. Omega states it uses high‑quality Top Wesselton white diamonds with clarity typically from pure to VVS for its diamond‑set models, aligned with responsible sourcing standards.
Q: Will it fit my wrist and can the bracelet be resized? A: This example is currently sized to fit a 15 cm wrist or smaller. The integrated bracelet can be resized by removing or adding links. Extra links may be obtainable via authorised Omega retailers or specialist parts suppliers; availability can vary by bracelet reference and era, so please contact us if you need sizing support.
Q: How do I set the time? A: Gently pull the crown to its setting position, rotate to set the hands to the desired time, then press the crown back in to start the movement. If the seconds hand performs long jumps (end‑of‑life indicator), book a battery and seal service before regular use in damp conditions.
Q: How should I care for the mother‑of‑pearl dial and bracelet? A: Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid chemicals, perfumes, and prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect the dial’s natural lustre. Keep the watch dry unless its water resistance has been recently tested. Have gaskets checked whenever the battery is replaced.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this item, no additional product information is noted; the watch is sold as photographed.
Q: Do Omega quartz watches need servicing? A: Yes. Quartz models need periodic battery changes and seal checks. Omega recommends a complete service approximately every 5–8 years (and sooner if the watch is exposed to water, impact, or daily wear), with interim battery/pressure tests as needed. We can help coordinate service on request.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, dial printing, case and bracelet construction, movement, serials and period‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or product information on request.
