·I found this on the CDN website ... QVT. Thought it was a nice concise summary. Thanks to Sao, the owner and watchmaker ..... Super helpful fellow and very patient with those who wish to learn. I'm not promoting his site, but just giving credit where it's due for this info.
DATE SETTING ADVICE FOR YOUR VINTAGE OMEGA:
• Caliber 353 and 355 – There is no quick set feature on these very first calendar calibers.
Each date will advance by turning hands every 24 hrs. The date can be set forward or backward depending on how you turn the hands.
Turning the hands clockwise will allow you to set the date forward.
Turning the hands counter clockwise will allow you to set the date backward.
For instance, if the date is ahead by a few days it is better to counter clockwise turn the hands.
• Caliber 502, 503, and 504 – There are two ways to setting the date for the following calibers.
You can set the date by turning the hands every 24 hrs for each date to advance.
Or, you can turn the hands until the date changes and then counter clock turn the hands to around 11pm.
From here, turn the hands back to 12 midnight and the date will change once more.
Keep doing this until you get to the correct date before setting the time.
• Caliber 560, 561, 562, 610, and 611 – There are also two ways to setting the date for the following calibers.
You can set the date by turning the hands every 24 hrs for each date to advance. Or, you can turn the hands until the date changes
and then counter clock turn the hands to around 9pm. From here, turn the hands back to 12 midnight and the date will change once more.
Keep doing this until you get to the correct date before setting the time.
