Perfect for garden parties, weddings and evening cocktails, this petite Omega Lady‑Constellation adds quiet glamour. The light‑blue mother‑of‑pearl dial with diamond accents offers a soft sparkle, while the polished steel bracelet sits neatly under a sleeve for boardroom meetings, then transitions effortlessly to dinner after dark.
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 movement powers this watch? A: The Lady‑Constellation Ref. 1566.86 uses Omega calibre 1456, a high‑precision quartz movement. It runs on a 1.55 V silver‑oxide button cell and typically offers around 2–4 years of battery life. When the battery is low, the seconds hand usually jumps at four‑second intervals as an end‑of‑life indicator.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? Can I swim or shower with it? A: This generation of Constellation “My Choice” mini models was specified at 30 m (3 bar). It is suitable for everyday splashes and handwashing but not for swimming, bathing or sauna use. As with any vintage watch, seals can age; have water resistance checked after any battery change and annually if you expect contact with water.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? Can the bracelet be adjusted? A: This example currently fits wrists up to 16 cm. The integrated stainless‑steel bracelet can be shortened by removing links; to lengthen it you would need additional Omega links for this specific bracelet type. There is no on‑the‑fly micro‑adjustment; fine sizing is achieved by adding or removing links.
Q: Are the diamonds factory‑set? What quality does Omega use? A: Yes. Omega fits its Constellation models with factory‑set diamonds and states that it uses Top Wesselton white diamonds with clarity ranging from pure to VVS, ensuring bright, consistent sparkle.
Q: Is the dial genuine mother‑of‑pearl? Any care tips? A: Yes, the dial is natural mother‑of‑pearl, so each watch shows unique iridescence. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning, or prolonged heat/sun exposure. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and keep the case seals checked to protect the dial from moisture.
Q: Which year was serial number 58010478 produced? A: Serial numbers in the 58,xxxx,xxx range correspond to the late 1990s; most charts place them around 1998, with production potentially spanning into the following years. This aligns with the era of the Constellation “My Choice” range.
Q: Can I replace the bracelet with a leather strap? A: The Constellation’s integrated case and bracelet design means standard straight‑end straps will not fit. Conversions require model‑specific Omega parts and are not commonly undertaken; most owners keep the original bracelet for the best fit and look.
Q: How often should I service it? A: Replace the battery roughly every 2–4 years. A full service is generally advised every 5–8 years depending on use. Have the water resistance tested annually and after any battery change, especially on a vintage watch.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This item is sold without accessories. Everything included is listed on this page; if an accessory is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is evaluated by specialists using multi‑point checks of the case, movement, dial, diamonds, serial and reference numbers, and period‑correct components. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
