·Hey there! I’ve just purchased my first Omega, a 1970 Seamaster Deville 14K with a cal 563.
Totally new to mechanical watches, so my apologies if these are dumb questions. It’s keeping time perfectly, but I’m having some issues with the date set. The crown seems to only have two positions - in , and out. It’s possible I’m being too delicate for fear of damaging the watch.
The only way I can find to change the date is to rotate the hands a full 24 hour cycle. I’m sure there must be a better way? I’ve googled and seen mention of a push-pull technique between positions 2 and 3, but as stated my watch only seems to have two positions. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
