Omega Seamaster Quartz 1342

Hi.

Just acquired this quartz watch. Can anyone advise how to set the hands. Its not the push crown model.

Regards

Does it perhaps have a screw-down crown? If so, you must first unscrew the crown, going counter-clockwise, pull out to the furthest setting, then set as usual. After setting, push crown back in as you tighten, turning clockwise. If that, or conventional setting w/o unscrewing crown doesn't work, I don't know. Good luck.

As far as I know all of the 1340 series set the same way. The only thing pulling it out does is allow you to set the hour and the date. Everything else you have to push the crown in. Then setting instructions found at the link below

Hi.

Thanks for the info. But the problem is still present, I can't set the minutes. There is no push center on the winder but if I push it tight to the case it just stops the minute hand. Could this be a wrong winder??

Regards.

Sorry, should read seconds hand.

If you read step number three in the link above pushing in the crown stops the secondhand exactly what you're describing.. This is the Lau you to synchronize the second hand with a time standard. Then if you rapidly push in and out the secondhand should jump forward each time you push in and out. Then step four explains how to get the watch to run really fast so the minute hand who go to wherever you wanted to go try not to go past because you can't go backwards.

Hello John.

Many thanks your description has solved the problem. Some of this model may not have the button in the crown
