Omega Seamaster 2561.80 Wrist Watch Questions & Answers
The movement on the second hand is jumping every 5
Many high end quartz watches have a feature called the EOL or end of life indicator. This causes the seconds hand to jump 2, 3 or 5 seconds depending on the make of watch when the battery life is low. The watch will continue to keep accurate time until the battery dies completely. So, when you see your seconds hand jumping multiple seconds it is time to get a battery.

what you have to do is that pull the crown to halfway do not pull completely out, if you pull halfway out and then move the crown to clockwise or anti clockwise it will change the date. if you pull completely out then it will change the time.
I have an Omega Planet
Take it in for servicing. There's nothing you can do to fix this. There's something going on with the movement.

Hi i_consolado,
If your Wrist Watch stops frequently, you might not be wearing it enough active hours of the day to keep it properly wound. Without enough power stored in the spring, the mechanism of the watch runs slightly slower then needed to keep accurate time. In fact, it may even briefly be stopping without you noticing.
An automatic watch uses its stored power constantly by running continuously. But it only gains more power if you manually wind it or from the automatic winding that occurs from your motion while you are active while wearing it. The net effect is that if you are not wearing it enough, it uses more power during a day than it gains from the number of hours of active motion it receives.
Since almost all automatic watches lack an indicator of how 'full' their power reserves are, here are some usage guidelines to help you keep your reserves up:
1. If your automatic watch stops, manually wind it about 20-30 turns when you put it on. Don't depend on the automatic winding to get your watch back up to power--that can take too long and still leave your watch low on reserves by the end of the day.
2. In general, an average watch wearer's motion is enough to power an automatic watch for 2-3 times as many hours as it is actively worn.
3. If you wear your automatic watch at least 10-12 active hours 7 days a week, you should maintain 50% (about 20 hours) of power reserve by the end of the day when you take it off.
4. It does not hurt an automatic watch to manually wind it every once in a while to make sure its power reserve is 'topped off.'
To test to see if your watch is really getting its full power reserve, try this: manually wind your watch at least 40 turns and make sure the time is correct. Then leave it on the dresser for two to three days and see what time it stops. If it runs for close to the stated power reserve (usually 40-44 hours for many modern mechanical watches), then your watch is perfectly fine. If it runs significantly less than that, it may need cleaning or an adjustment.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.
The second hand sweeps every 4 to 5 seconds
I don't know how your particular watch operates but it is a common feature to change the second hand operation when the battery is running low. So the answer to your question is YES.
I have purchased a seamaster
Try turning the crown to unlock it before you pull it. Some higher end watches have screwed down crowns for keeping out water and dust.DB
Hope this helps. If not I'll but it for a buck ... Really it should solve your problem
Having been unworn for about
Let you watch run down compleatly than rest the time and put it in a watch winder or activate it the same way you have been the problem is the watch has not been used for a time
The 24 hour hand sticks at the 12 oclock posiion
It sounds as though the 24hr hand is being obstructed, and that is also stopping the 12hr hand. Try to examine the face carefully for foreign objects (or bent hands). Unless you're very skilled with watches, I would suggest that you take it for repair. If the hands are sticking, gently pull out the crown ("winder") to stop the watch and prevent further damage.
I have an omega watch thats winding knob came off,
Unfortunately you can not fix it yourself. If the spring came out, that means your winding knob (real name is CROWN) has been worned out and the friction fitting no longer can keep it in working order. AS THE CROWNS FOR ALL WATCHES ARE MADE BY MACHINES, NO WATCH REPAIRS CAN BE SUCCESSFULL. All you can do is to go to local OMEGA dealer shop and ask for replacement. Be prepaired to pay more than you think. OMEGA parts for replacemebt cost dearly.

Omega automatic seamaster losing time
Most likely your watch needs to be serviced.
Every watch, both mechanical and quartz needs regular service.
When the oils in the watch dry out they get gummy and will work against the gear train. They also stop lubricating and friction builds up causing wear.
Hope this helps,
