·I have a constellation co-axial master chronometer 29mm (purchased from Omega last year). I have heard about the 9pm-3am/8pm-2am/10pm-2am “forbidden time/danger zone” and have always been cautious with it. However, this morning (local time ~9:15am), I adjusted the date - moved it forward for one day as the watch stopped while I traveled without it last weekend, and only to realize it was actually set to 9:15pm when the manual date change happened 🙁
Because it was a special and big purchase only a year ago, I am very concerned about the potential damage and regret not thinking more thoroughly before I did the change. Since then I have tested the date function many times by using the manual hand adjustment via crown position 3 or changing date with the fast date set via crown position 2 while the time/hand is set to 5/6 position (outside of the forbidden time range).
All 31 dates change around midnight and everything seems to be okay so far. However, my OCD is overwhelming and I searched online but have seen very few discussions or instructions for caliber 8700. I am looking for tips and guidance on how serious this damage could be and whether I need to be concerned (also how I can check/confirm without officially ordering a service). Any experience you can share I would really appreciate. Thank you!
