alberto: I notice the same behavior on my new Omega Mark II (2014 re-issue), which also contains cal 3330.
My only other chronometer up to this point was the classic hand-wound Moonwatch, which always worked perfectly.
So I was quite surprised (and worried) when the cal 3330 stopped completely for the first time upon starting the chronometer.
It happened more frequently on stop-and-go usage, without resetting in between. On my Mark II, every 30 to 80 stop/go cycles, the issue reappears.
I passed it to Omega Vienna and got it back after 3 weeks. No change in behavior.
As archer said, it is probably the heritage on the horizontally coupled 7750 (or 7753, which has the quick date adjustment). We probably have to live with it, but I am definitely not happy with the situation.
Last week I bought the Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Limited Edition of the Moonwatch. This helps me forget about the issue ....
