"OMEGA uses the quick date-change system, which starts to change the date at about 11.30 pm and comes to its end at 00.10 am. The date of the ending day can be seen in full until 11.50 pm. Between a period of 10 minutes before and after midnight, the calendar jumps and lets appear the date of the next day.
Avoid changing the date manually between 8 pm and 2 am, since this is the period during which the automatic date-change is in operation."

So I understand that if the watch is turned off at 9 o'clock, if I take it manually from the crown at 6 o'clock, is it ok? Did I take the "dangerous" time clock?
It's safe to set the time on a watch at any time. The warnings you see are about changing the date on a quick-set watch, which can be dangerous on some watches if the time is near midnight, when the automatic date change mechanism is doing its thing.
If you have a watch showing a time within a couple of hours of 12, and you want to adjust the date, first set the hands to a time outside the danger region, then quick change the date.
Yes that's right: turn the time to 6, then set the day and date, then set the time. I usually set the day and dateb to yesterday then set the time forward, through the date change at midnight, until I get to the correct time with today's date, that way I can be sure I have the correct AM/PM.
Hahaha! Thanks everyone for help!
If someone does this to change the time in the "risk zone", what happens? What broke? I mean a automatic watch.
