It is a known problem. From our FAQs:

OMEGA reports that some of the first production series of the 1998-present Seamaster GMT watches can experience an occasional occurence where the GMT hand would mysteriously lose one hour. This has been identified as an irregularity within the gear-train of the hand setting mechanism. If you experience this problem, you should send your watch in to OMEGA for in-warranty service to have it corrected.
