    Brand new to the world of vintage omega watches but absolutely loving my albatros :) it was a big purchase for me and my first omega but it’s such a brilliant piece

    Is there an online pdf of operating instructions somewhere? Particularly keen to understand the crown operation. Thanks for the help!

    Thanks for the suggestion but the purchase of the watch was a stretch so not looking for an additional purchase at the moment

    also alarmingly the analogue clock now seems to have stopped :( I pulled out the crown and saw the first stage set in 1 hour increments and when I pushed the crown back it didn’t start telling time again, digital part of the watch fully functional, any thoughts or advice to what might have happened and how to resolve is very welcome!

    If the problem isn`t solved with just a new battery thats where the big problems starting Omega can`t help and spare parts are very rare for this watch.
    You will need to find a real specialist on this movement.
