Clicking sound after manual winding

Hi, I've been browsing this forum for quite a time now and learned quite a lot about Omega watches. I recently purchased a Deville Co-Axial and liked it very much. On weekends when I store my watch, I usually wind the watch about 90 half-turns, so about 45 whole turns. I noticed though that at this point I hear a clicking sound and if I countinue winding, I hear again this clicking sound after about 3 or 4 turns. I have to wind the watch close to my ear to hear the clicks.

I presume this sound is from a release mechanism that automatic watches have so they are not over-wound. Any info will be appreciated. I hope I'm not doing anything bad to my watch.
