Movement & Technical Notes

This model is powered by the Omega Calibre 1342, a high-grade Swiss quartz movement notable for its unusual time-setting mechanism:

  • Pulling the crown allows independent jumping hour adjustment, forward or backward
  • The date changes automatically while adjusting hours
  • Minute setting is achieved via a crown pusher system:
    • Push the crown fully in, hold for approx. 5 seconds
    • Depress briefly, push again
    • The seconds hand advances rapidly; release when the correct minute is reached

This innovative system reflects Omega’s experimental approach during the early quartz era.

Dimensions
