I've just been donated this seamaster in need of repair and some TLC. I know quartz watches aren't everyone's bag but of like to get this working of possible. The issue as I can see it (excuse the ignorance and lack of terminology) is when pulling out the crown to set the time, only the hour hand rotates. The minutes hand appears to be stuck (although it does attempt movement). My question is, would this require specialist Omega intervention or should a competent watch maker be able to help?
Here is your answer... https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/1726-how-to-set-the-time-on-an-omega-1345-calibre-watch/ At first it seems like a bit of a faff but once you are used to the procedure it's fine. The advantage is that changing time-zone without affecting the minutes/seconds is the easiest thing ever.
You my friend are a legend Only a novice world assume this watch should be set like pretty much any other known to man
I was a novice when I bought my closely related 1342 movement Omega in 1982. But I was employed in computer software development and knew the value of reading the manuals carefully. A habit I've maintained In fact there were no accepted standards at the time, quartz technology was too new to have settled into a groove. And just like in software everyone thinks their method of doing things is better than anyone else's. Which I also have to remember when I strap on a chronograph with a Landeron movement (top pusher starts, bottom pusher stops & re-sets).
