Omega Constellation 34mm Full Set 2001 Watch

Q: What defines the Omega Constellation 34mm Ref. 1512.40.00?
A: Produced in 2001, this model is a classic example of the Constellation '95 series. It features a versatile 34mm stainless steel case, the signature bezel with engraved Roman numerals and "griffes" (claws), and a grey dial with a date window.

Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic?
A: This timepiece is powered by the Omega Calibre 1532, a precision quartz movement. This ensures high accuracy and reliability with minimal maintenance compared to mechanical movements, requiring only occasional battery changes.

Q: Does it feature a sapphire crystal?
A: Yes, this model is fitted with a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment inside. This offers superior durability and clarity compared to older mineral or acrylic glass.

Q: Is the watch water-resistant?
A: Originally, this model was rated for water resistance up to 50 metres. However, as it is a vintage piece from 2001, we cannot guarantee the seals remain watertight without a fresh pressure test. We advise treating it as splash-resistant only and avoiding swimming or showering with the watch.

Q: Will this watch fit my wrist?
A: This specific watch is currently sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 20cm. It includes 3 extra links, making it suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. The bracelet features a secure sliding clasp.

Q: How do I set the date?
A: The Calibre 1532 movement features a quickset date. You can adjust the date by pulling the crown to the first position and turning it. Pulling the crown to the second position allows you to set the time.

Q: What is the condition of this specific piece?
A: The watch is in Very Good condition. It shows light traces of use appropriate for its age, with visible scratches on the case, bezel, case back, and bracelet. The dial remains in excellent condition.

Q: What is included with the purchase?
A: This is a "full set" listing. It comes with the original Omega box, the original certificate/papers, and the 3 extra bracelet links mentioned above.

Q: How do I know when to change the battery?
A: The movement is equipped with an End-of-Life (EOL) indicator. When the battery is nearing depletion, the seconds hand will jump in 4-second intervals, alerting you that a replacement is needed soon.
