Excluding some current products, we have vintage watches and other items.
Some watches with a "calendar function" require careful operation.
Watches from the mid-1970s onwards have been capable of "quick change" calendars,
All watches are equipped with a date fast forward function, with some exceptions.
However, many people are unaware of the precautions to take when operating this calendar.
Continuing to use the product without following this procedure correctly may result in unexpected damage.
To fast forward the date,
"Never fast forward the clock between 8pm and 4pm."
If you just follow these rules, there will be no problem.
Once again, this is important...
"Never fast forward the clock between 8pm and 4pm."
In most cases, there is no problem even if you try it several times,
In the worst case scenario, the calendar lever will break.
You may also not be able to adjust the time.
This time, the lever was bent due to a mistake in the operation method.
It became unusable as it was not possible to adjust the time or fast forward the date.
After looking at the internal condition, I had to arrange for a calendar lever.
Due to the rising cost of parts today, the repair costs were unexpected.
However, the repair was completed successfully, which also served as an overhaul.
This time
Overhaul ¥16,500
Calendar lever replacement ¥19,800
Total: 36,300 yen including shipping
Depending on the machine, there may be cases where we are unable to repair it because we are unable to obtain parts or make a new one.
This time, as expected from Omega, they were able to fix it in the end, even though the parts were expensive.
This repair made me realize just how highly reliable our products are.
However, this is a repair that can be prevented with proper use.
Please be careful with calendar watches that have a fast-forward function!
