no need to worry Thom
I have a type XX as well and it shows the same behaviour in changing the date. Your watch is fine as long as all functions are running properly.
The reason for the slow change of date might be due to the fact that the movement base was developed a few decades ago, probably in the 60's. If i remember correclty, the Type XX automatic movement is based on a Nouvelle Lemania manual calibre 861 that is also used in the Speedmaster Professional. While these are beautiful and highqualiy movements, the engineers probably had other priorities in the 60's that a fast change of the date at midnight.

Hi All just want to share my limited knowledge. I understand the speed at which the date changes has something to do with energy saving. For those watches with quick change, they need a lot of enery for the quick flick. The slower the change, the less ene...
