How to wind, hack the seconds, and use the tachymeter on your Omega Speedmaster Professional

Full wind from a dead stop is about 50 turns with my Speedmaster. Winding your watch every day around the same time will give you more consistent accuracy and will take about 20-26 turns. Hope this helps.

I have a '70 Constelation and the crown pulls out from the case. I can put it back in with the pin to wind it, but cannot adjust the time. What damage has been caused and is it serious? Thanks.

Don't know exactly. It would be the stem has broken off and part of it is still engaged, or something else. Some of the vintage movements hold the stem via a screw and screw could be loose, which would be an easy fix, or there could be another issue with it. I'd suggest you take it in to a watchmaker. Good luck.

@screamosux I also wanted to add that a mechanical movement will outlast any quartz movement, given the movement is made of quality materials and regularly serviced. This is the reason why pocket watches built well over a century ago still run to this day; what we call "steel" today would not have been considered such back then. The steel commonly used today is high in lead content and wears very poorly. This not only shortens the life of the watch considerably, it also lowers accuracy.

@yeahdude7 It depends on the quality of the watch movement, as well as the compensations added. For example, a bimetallic temperature compensated balance wheel will allow much greater accuracy than a solid, uncompensated balance wheel. Finish work is also important, notably on the pivots of the balance staff and pinions. This is the reason why the American RailRoad approved pocket watches of at least 100 years ago would run with an error not exceeding ±30 seconds/week.

My biggest problem with automatic watches is that they're less accurate than even the cheapest quartz watches and they stop working after two or three days of not wearing them. It's kind of annoying, but the Omega watch in this video sure looks great.

Hello Sir I've a question, I bought today a speedy and when the secondhand is on the 60 possition and I activate at the same moment the chronograph than the second hand and the chronograph stops. Is this normal ? Thank for you awnser.
