Dear All, I need your advice.
I put on this morning my Omega Speedmaster Professional, cal. 1861, ref. 38705000, after a two weeks stop. It was safely stored in his own box, it suffered no hits, no water exposure.
I tried to wind it as usual, and noticed that:

1. You can wind it forever, the crown doesn't stop turning.
2. The hands don't move. The watch doesn't tick. It is stopped.

I already wrote to the local assistance, today they are closed (being Monday). Meanwhile, while waiting for a thorough check, do you have any suggestion/hypothesis?

Thank you in advance,

Mainspring broken?
That was my first thought. Quite strange, it had been serviced one year ago, back in April 2024.

Did you have it serviced by Omega? If so, then it would still be under warranty. If it was an independent, they may not have replaced the mainspring during service, in an attempt to save time and money by not ordering the part and because they judged it to be in good enough shape.

It was an independent lab, although a trusted one. I will bring them the watch tomorrow and ask for a check.
