I own an SMP quartz and have the same 'problem' as Chip. A little worried, I consulted my 'Omega Operating Instructions' and found the folowing:
"The crown has 3 positions:
1. Neutral position, when worn: the corwn should be pushed in to ensure water resistance.
2. To change time zone or summer/winter time: pull the crown out to position 2 and turn it.....
To change the date: pull the crown out to position 2 and turn the hour hand 24h. [turn the hour hand 24h, thus i think the hour hand should move]. The date will go forwards or backwards by one day. Repeat until reaching date required.
3. To set time: hours - minutes -seconds. Pull crown out to position 3 and turn it forwards or backwards.In position 3, the second hand stops..."
(these numbers correspond to a diagram on the opening page of the manual).
Thus, in my opinion, according to the information for date change, the hour hand should move, at least for my full-size SMP quartz.
Just for reference purposes, my SMP is calibre 1538, which is quite recent (about 1 year since manufacture) and thus may differ from the experinces of others. I would be interested to hear of other movements within the SMP quartz bond and the calindar features they have.
Anyway I hope to have set your minds at rest.
