Hello,

I picked up my omega seamaster after probably more than a year of not using it and tried to wind it but no movement of the dials whatsoever.

Pulled the crown to position 1, turned it a few times CW, no change, then turned it another 40 or 50 times, still no change.

Any ideas or tips to bring it back to life? Thank you in advance

 

Consider having it checked out would be the only suggestion I could make.

 

(1) Hopefully locate your warranty card
(2) Contact Omega customer service or your nearest OB
(3) Let them handle it.

Worst case scenario: out of warranty, a full service will solve most anything that has gone awry. Depending on it's age and warranty status your problem may be simple.

 

Why is this important, it’s Automatic so use it as that, why bother with manual wind?

 

I got the impression he had wound it by hand. Even so, had he not hand wound it, being an automatic, I’d Have thought it might have wound enough during handling for it to start.

 

Take it to a watch guy to look. Don’t try and get it to work yourself. It’s the safest bet. Probably something simple.

 

After winding try to shake it a bit or even a “bit more”. The balance wheel might have stuck in a direction and it might require some force to bring it back.

 

To the OP - who old is your Seamaster? Is it still under warranty, or is it an "old-timer"? Also, what model is it? Does it work after shaking/moving? In either event, it sounds like a service is in order...

 

It's been bought second hand on 27/06/2017
Ref. 212.30.41.20.03.001

 

Looks to me from the blurred seconds hand that the watch pictured is in fact running. That is, if this is a picture of the stopped Omega. Is the watch running, or no?

 

It's a Co-axial.
There's not much chance the escarpment is locked.
But yes, a good shake should get it going if something has stuck in there.
The OP hasn't mentioned trying the old Seiko method of kick starting the watch. As it's an auto that should see it spring to life as long as the Main spring is in order.
