As I am an engineer I primarily wear a g-shock to work, so there are regular periods of more than a week or so that the Omega won't be worn for fear of damage due to risk of impact etc.
I am aware that it's a self winding movement, but as there are regular periods of more than 48 hours without wear, the power reserve has regularly been allowed to wind down and stop, therefore it has been necessary to wind the crown, as per Omega instructions.
It states in the instructions to wind the crown approximately 50 times to wind the watch from zero power. It normally takes around this amount before a small ratcheting sound occurs, which I assume to be the anti-overwind mechanism kicking in.
I have always wound it like this after periods of not wearing the watch with no issues, but this is the first time this problem has occurred.
Thanks for your reply,
Allan
