How to wind Omega Constellation C-Case 168.017 Caliber 564

Hi guys

I have recently purchased a 1966 Omega Constellation C-Case 168.017 Caliber 564.

The watch is currently not ticking, I just want to check that I don't damage the watch by winding it incorrectly. From what I understand, these are the steps.

1) To wind the watch, rotate the crown away from you.

- with regard to this, is it possible to over-wind the watch? will the crown still rotate if the watch is fully wound? Is it possible the break the watch by winding the crown the wrong direction?

2) To change the hands, click the crown out once and rotate toward you.

- is it possible to break the watch by rotating in the wrong direction.

3) To use the quick date feature - click crown out twice and rotate toward you. DO NOT ROTATE BETWEEN HOURS 10 - 2.

Is there anything else that I should know.

Many thanks for any replies 😀

It's an automatic. Wind away from you about 20 times to get it going. The movement of your wrist will take over from there to keep it wound. I don't think you can overwind it.

As @efauser days - you can’t over wind the automatic movt.

If you have so much as moved the watch it should be ticking as the rotor will wind the watch.

You can turn the hands either way.

For the quickset, you don’t turn the crown.
Pulling the crown out changes the date.
It’s advised to set the hands to 6.30 when changing the date.

Hope that helps
