Omega Seamaster losing an hour...

[AMacA]

I've had my Seamaster about 3 months, last week I was out and noticed that the watch had lost exactly an hour. I changed it to the right time, and it has been fine since... until tonight (1 week later if it means anything).

I noticed that the watch had lost exactly an hour again. It as been on time all day, but somewhere between 18.00 and 23.00 the watch has lost an hour.

Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

Last time I had a watch do this I caught the hand drooping loosely. Suspect yours might be magenetised, though. A minute in a degausser (I think) should do it.

If you've only had it 3 months - and it's new - take it back to the supplying dealer immediately and ask for a replacement. If you don't you'll loose the watch for an age. I sent one of my Omega's to the factory on the 30th of August 2009. I went to my AD last Thursday to collect it but the factory had scratched the case. The AD are great and are sorting it out. I should get it next Tuesday! In my experience Omega repairs are expensive, take an age and are not of the best quality.

Is the crown screwed in correctly? sounds like the quick change feature at position 1 ?

Thanks for the replies...

The crown is definitely screwed in properly - I had to unscrew it to set the time back to normal.

Have phoned the AD where I purchased it this morning. They want to get it in for testing, saying that this isn't something they've come across before.

I'd be interested to hear how you get on ...

Doubly interested it seems!
