second hand (kinda long)

Hi,
I have a 1950's Seamaster 600 with a Turler dial. The cal is 611. My question regarding this piece concerns the second hand. I have read many informative posts on the forum, but have not found one that answers my question directly. My watch is mechanical(winder). The second hand on my watch sweeps. However, sometimes it moves in continuous intervals while other times it moves only twice between the second markers. Listening to the watch reveals that the internal mechanism is constantly ticking. Is there an explanation for this type of movement? Is it just reminicent of the mechanical movement? I would appreciate any info on this matter.
Thanks,
Neil
