It does, i have tried with 5167 and 5164 which both if you leave the crown open for that 30-60 sec range stops the watch. Not sure if it damages the movement by doing so but i did see in my tests that if you shake the watch / the rotor moves after the seconds hands stop, it started again with the crown still open.

OP just see how it goes and if it doesn't happen again then i wouldn't worry about it. You could also shake the watch to and listen to ensure there is no weird rattling as a part may have come loose but i doubt it.
