Major problem with the Speedy! Anybody run into this?
So my new Speedy Tuesday is already in the shop! The watch runs fine in "normal" mode, but when I click the Chrono pusher in to start the Chrono feature, the second hand stops at the 47th second and the entire watch stops working. Then as soon as I slightly turn the crown, the watch starts working again and the second hand starts ticking again and will sometimes stop again between the 49th and 58th second. Pretty aggravated to say the least!!!! However, i really like the staff where I bought it and it seems they are doing their best to remedy. They called all over to get a replacement but there are none anywhere. SO, anybody run into this????

That’s awful. Fortunately, the 1861 movement should be easily repairable (or at least replaceable) for Omega. |

Yes, a few years ago I did own a Speedmaster Pro with caliber 1861 that exhibited this symptom, but only randomly, very infrequently, and only a couple of times, if I recall correctly.
My memory on this is a bit vague, but I recall that I was timing something on the stove, and when I looked down to check the time, my watch had stopped running with the chronograph hand in a position similar to yours. I think I recall that I pressed the start/stop button, then pressed the reset button, then started the chronograph again in order to test it, and I found that it stopped again in exactly the same place. I decided to send the watch for service, but then when I tested it again a couple of days later it was working fine, so I decided to wait and see. I think I recall that it exhibited the same symptom a few months later, and again only for that day before it went back to normal. I never had the watch serviced, and traded it in 2009 (with full disclosure, of course!). Sorry to hear of the trouble with yours. I'm confident Omega will take proper care of it for you. |

I have not heard of this but it is frustrating I am sure. Let Omega fix it and enjoy a great watch. My experience with Omega service has always been great.

Had an issue like this with my Tudor. The second hand was rubbing against the crystal. Easy fix.
