Hi everyone.
Sorry to bother you all again, but I need some info.
One month ago I probably set the date on my brand new Speedy Racing (cal. 3330) at a dangerous time.
I thought it was a safe time for setting it, (not between 9PM and 1AM) but then the date changed at noon, so I presume I did it when it was not the case.
I was imprudent, I know.
The following day I went to an Omega Boutique, they set the right date and gave a quick but very professional check to the watch, saying everything was ok.
Now my question is:
After one month, there is any other possibility to check out if there was any (even little) damage?
As for the watch, the date changes always regularly at -3/+3 around midnight.
The numbers in the date window are well centered.
The accuracy in time is great.
Every other clockwork (hands, chronograph pushers, etc.) works perfectly.
Should I presume there was no damage at all?
Should I bring wy watch to an Omega Shop for a service?
Thanks a lot for helping guys.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Relax and enjoy your watch.

 

Thanks a lot Darlinboy

 

If this was a normal ETA 7750 there could be an issue, because the date mechanism on that movement is not very forgiving (depending on the condition of the safety mechanism, which are more often than not seized up).

However when Omega used this as the base movement for the Cal. 3330, they made changes to the dial side of the movement to relocate one sub-dial hand, and in the process changed the date mechanism also. This one uses a spring loaded finger to change the date rather than the rigid finger used on the 7750, so even if you did change it at the wrong time, you are fine. I wouldn't keep doing it, but the chances it did any damage are very slim.

Cheers, Al

 

Thanks a lot Archer. Crystal clear as always.

 

sorry for boring you Archer, last question:
would you send the watch for a service?
thanks again

No need to send it for a service if it is working properly.

 

Thank you very much Archer
