The REAL reason the symbol is not aligned is because these crystals are also used in watches with helium escape valves. In those watches, at the factory when they're made, the upward pressure of the helium on the crystal causes the crystal to naturally rotate and settle into microscopic alignment notches. Since the Speedmaster doesn't have any helium, there's no automatic crystal rotation. Please click
