·oh no!
its installed sideways.
better send it in for service to rotate it the correct way or it will be 15 mins off per year.

·Just checked mine for alignment and it’s just like yours . I hope Omega will correct the alignment and possibly fit a new Crystal under warranty , I don’t want to wear the watch anymore , bitterly disappointed by Omegas lack of QC .

·I decided to unbox and take a go at it myself since I'm sure the service centers are swamped. It can't be that hard to disassemble, rotate the crystal and then put back together. Hold my beer....

·I’m pretty sure Archer once mentioned that Omega makes no effort to line up the Omega logo on the hesalite.

·Ironically the only ones I’ve seen aligned are on service cases

·Please someone tell this just isn’t true , this is like a nightmare coming true . And to think only 1 hour ago I was at peace with the world .
I have never seen a lined up one when I’ve looked at them in shops!

nah, you had better just send it off to me, it would be too much hassle and cost associated with a crystal rotation, the watch is totaled, you are gonna have to get rid of it....
dont worry, ill somehow manage to weather through it.

·A proper pair of Vise-Grips and a little twisting and you can nudge the symbol into its proper orientation.

Official Omega policy is to affix the crystal according to the location of the seam on the tension ring, not the orientation of the crystal. The trilogy Seamaster and Railmaster models had aligned crystals because they use sapphire instead of hesalite.

··Oooo subtitles!I have always worked on the basis that when I see a Hesalite crystal with a perfectly alighted crystal logo, clearly at seem point it has had a replacement crystal since the factory seem to delight in putting them on any old way. This of course is not a problem, crystals are routinely replaced at service time but when you are offered a barn find never opened watch with an aligned crystal, the Spidey Sense should be tingling...
