9300 Movement Question

[tesmith2112]

Looking for some expert advise...

Is there any risk in letting the large chronograph hand continually run on a 9300 movements? I'm thinking about buying one, but I don't like the way it blocks the 12 or omega logo, I'd rather it run.

I apologize if this topic has been brought up before.

Should have no adverse effect other than a little more wear than if you didn't but nothing a regular service wouldn't fix.

In a Speedy Pro this would cause wear on the movement. The 9300 in-house movement runs the chronograph independent from the standard timekeeping. Thus the chrono can run on its own consistently without concern.

With the hour and minute chrono hands together this is essentially a second time zone if needed.

Cheers~

Beat me to it, that's 100% correct

Let me ramble and tell me where I'm wrong...

The correct way to wear this this watch is for the chronograph hand (large seconds hand) to stay fixed at 12, and the small seconds will run at 9. If I choose I can let the large chrono hand run in parallel with the small hand at 9 and this will not cause any issues because the movement is designed to independently control the standard time keeping and chrono function?

Nailed it. In short, run it however you want.

That's the beauty of the newer Co-Axial movements.

Hope to win PowerBall so I can get mine!

I bought 5 quick-picks. I already have the money spent!

I lost PowerBall, so the 9300 Speedy remains the Grail for now. Love the watch. Remedies all I find deficient with the Speedy Pro.
