Seamaster 300 White Dial

[hugof3C]

From the OMEGA website;

"OMEGA uses the quick date-change system, which starts to change the date at about 11.30 pm and comes to its end at 00.10 am. The date of the ending day can be seen in full until 11.50 pm. Between a period of 10 minutes before and after midnight, the calendar jumps and lets appear the date of the next day."

According to the OMEGA website this system is used on the following calibres;

"Quick date-change on calibres 1120, 2300, 2500, 2601, 2610, 2627, 3221, 3301-3, 3304, 3320, 3313, 3330,.3612, 3888, 3890, 8500, 8501, 8521, 8601, 8611

I'm my view, it is entirely possible that a date change has been initiated.

The picture of watch #1 (w1), which is showing the date as the 9th, is taken fairly dead-on, and in my view cannot show such a large deviation at the date window.

The picture of watch #2 (w2), which is showing the date as the 8th, was taken at a slight angle with the camera aiming from the left of the dial. This angle will show the 8 as being closer to the left side of the window than the right...giving the impression of a misaligned date wheel/window.

In my opinion, what we're seeing as a possible misalignment on w1 is actually a movement in the process of a date change.

correct, my 8500 is exactly the same,
it starts with a very slow clockwise movement, then a sudden jump to the next Nº at around midnight.
there are many here with watches running on the listed movements, it's easy to confirm,
but I see nothing different there from any other.

Thank you for the spec on this. The “misaligned” 9 brought me here

Swung by my local OB but they didn't have any on stock. Really excited to see it eventually.

I love mine! Really clean and striking look. And, this watch is maybe the most accurate I have every had - the master chronometer movement is really proving itself.

I have to admit here's the way I wish they would have made this watch.. notice what my finger is covering..

Totally agree.
