Omega Constellation 24mm 1998 Watch

Q: What size is this Omega Constellation watch?
A: This watch has a 24 mm case, giving it an elegant, compact vintage look that wears neatly on the wrist. It is a refined smaller-size model, ideal if you prefer a classic and discreet profile.

Q: What type of movement does this watch have?
A: This Omega Constellation uses a quartz movement, meaning it is battery-powered rather than automatic. Quartz watches are appreciated for their accuracy, ease of use, and low day-to-day maintenance.

Q: What materials and design details does this watch feature?
A: This piece features a stainless steel case and bracelet, a white textured dial with index hour markers, an engraved Roman numeral bezel, and a folding clasp closure. These signature Constellation details give it a timeless, recognisable Omega look.

Q: What wrist size will it fit?
A: The bracelet currently fits a wrist of up to 15.5 cm. If your wrist is larger, you may need additional links if available through a watch specialist.

Q: What is the condition of this watch?
A: The external condition is very good with light traces of use, the internal condition is very good, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a vintage watch from 1998, gentle signs of age are normal and form part of its character.

Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or other product information?
A: No. This listing is noted as having no accompanying product information. If anything is included, it will always be stated on the product page.

Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, it can work beautifully as an everyday dress watch, especially if you like smaller vintage watches. Its stainless steel construction and quartz movement make it practical, while the classic Constellation styling keeps it polished and versatile.

Q: Is it water-resistant?
A: This reference is commonly listed with light water resistance, but with any vintage watch we recommend avoiding water exposure unless it has been recently pressure-tested by a qualified watchmaker. For a pre-owned piece, caution is always best.

Q: How often will the battery need replacing or the watch servicing?
A: As a quartz watch, it will typically need periodic battery changes rather than daily winding. We recommend having battery replacement and any servicing carried out by a trusted professional, especially to help protect the case, crown, and seals on a vintage watch.

Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Omega watch like this?
A: At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully vetted for authenticity by specialists. For vintage watches, this includes checking details such as the reference, serial number, dial and case characteristics, movement type, materials, and overall construction.
