Omega Seamaster Calibre 1120

Hello all,

Tried searching for this topic but didn't find anything...hopefully someone can help me out.

Anyways, I know the 1120 is a very reliable, very robust movement and is, at the end of a day, a very highly modified ETA 2892A2.

Now, whenever I hand wind my Seamaster more than 15-20 revolutions, I hear a clicking sound every revolution or so thereafter. Now I've heard that winding the 1120 does not disengage the winding train and so the only time this watch should ever be handwound is when it is at a dead stop and even then only 15-20 revolutions at a snail's pace.

My question is this: Will handwinding the Seamaster actually harm the movement? Is that ratcheting sound a warning that I'm about to unleash terrible things, or simply the Omega's way of telling me that I can stop winding it now.

Expert advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

-ND
