: While you're active (wearing it) there is a
: rotor that winds the mainspring by the
: motion of your arm. This is what keeps the
: watch 'moving' all night. It is better known
: as 'reserve power'. Just like the old
: grandfather clocks that need winding every
: month, your Omega needs to be worn
: frequently to keep tension on the spring.
This raises a question for me as well. If I don't wear my watch for an extended period of time (say a week), I know I can wind the watch to get it started again. My question is, does this do any damage to the mechanism, to let it wind down and sit dormant for a while?
