I have a stainless steel and gold dress style Seamaster, apparently c1983 with the number 1337 stamped on the outside of the case back. It has square dial with rounded corners, what is I think sometimes called a TV dial. Gold face with gold hands and markers; a date window and, on the face the words, 'Omega' (with logo) and then below the hands pivot point 'Seamaster Quartz'. Bracelet number 1320/366.
Trying to research this watch does not bring anything up on the web.
Questions:
1) Can anyone please give more information on this watch(pics can be supplied) and
2) Above the crown wheel in the side of the case at the two o'clock is a recessed button - like a re-set button. What is this for please?
Further: The crown wheel became stuck. My watch repairer (sensible and experienced) suggested a very small amout of WD40 and that worked to release the stuck crown wheel. However, although the hand and date setting was OK when I bought it, I now find that the crown will only pull out one stop and then one can only move the hour hand and (for every two revolutions) the date moves. Please remind me if the crown should move out two stops in order to move the minute hand or, is a repair necessary?
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments or advice.
