Re: The Wind

In Response To: The Wind ()

: I recently just purchased a Seamaster 300m Professional
: Chronograph for my son and would like to figure it out
: since Omega provided not much with the watch.
: How often does it have to be wound? It seems to stop frequently.

It is an automatic watch (also known as self-winding). When you wear it, it winds itself based on a smal rotor piece that turns as you move. But you have to wear it at least 4 active hours a day to keep it wound enough to stay running. You can manually wind it too, but simply wearing it a lot more should be the best solution.

: Also, what is the deal with the dial directly over the 6pm
: mark. Is it supposed to move. Thanks!

I am not totaly familiar with the operation of the chronograph, but I believe some dials only turn when you are using the stopwatch (chronograph) functions of the watch.
