Winding of the Crown

According to info from this site, winding of the crown of an automatic SMP (date,time adjust) would be a hazardous thing to do.
And also recommended, from this site, if the second hand is moving on the watch, one may not wind the crown backwards.

However, when setteling date/summer time of SMP quartz model, the second hand will continue to move. Whenever needed to settle the date/summertime "backwards", I wonder if the crown is allowed to wind opposite of the normal mechanism?
Omega�s manual informs me that I can either wind forward or backwards (when settling date/summertime) - Second hand only stops when I attempt to adjust time.

Any advice?
