Dear Friends....

I`m owner of a Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra (Co-axial , one barell)
Today, deside to wear this watch after three months of comlete immobility.
Before wear it , I winded it up about 40 turns.
I went to friend`s house and sat there for two hours next to a sound box. Since then, my watch stopped working.
The situation is this : when I move watch with my hand doing a circle, the second`s hand counts for 5 secs and stops.
Is my watch magnitised?
Now after two hours my watch running just fine!!!
Any ideas????? Should I worry or not???
Any opinions???

Sorry for my English....

Thanks in advance..

Kali mera,
Just wanted to share that after owning my brand new Aqua Terra Seamaster for 4 months, purchased from an authorized dealer, it stopped working entirely. Had to send it in for repair and it turned out to have a faulty part that had to be imported from Switzerland. Repair was free (under warranty) but took about 6 weeks. If this problem happens again, do take it in for repair. Good luck!

What you describe is not normal.. nor is it an indication of being magnetized.

Something stopped the movement... likely in the escapement based on your description..

I may have guessed a broken mainspring, but you say it is now working normally; so that is not possible.

If it is running just fine, I probably wouldn't do anything unles it happened again..... The only way to know if something is wrong/broken is for a watchmaker to open it up and look inside....
