In Response To: Do not adjust date on your watch between 8PM - 2AM ()

: I'm trying to force myself to read the Omega
: manual that came with my 2531.80. Its hard
: to read the manual after visiting this
: website which is in my opinion has more
: information and its much easier to
: understand and follow.

: The only peace of information that I found in
: the manual (page 15) that's worth sharing is
: that Omega does not recommend date
: adjustments between 8PM and 2AM (for
: calibers 1120, 2500, 2520, 2627, and 2300.)

Dear Michael,
Position 2nd is designed to do the following things:
1st - to change the hour without stopping the watch and...
2nd - to change the date by turning the hour hand past 12 o’clock required number of times.
There is no date only change position.
Movements based on ETA 2892 (and variations of this movement such as ETA 2892-A2 for example used on SMP GMT as 1128) are known for the ability to change the date at any time without the 8PM - 2AM limitation however traditionally most of us are not comfortable doing it.

Best Regards,
Darek
