I noticed something today that I have not noticed before. I was adjusting the time on my 249 against the radio time signal, so I lined up the minute hand about 20 seconds before the minute would be reached and waited. However, when the minute time signal was reached the minute hand on my watch had moved and was notwshowing nearly half past the minute.
It seems that when the crown is pulled out to set the watch the mechanism keeps going. Is that correct and, if so, what is the reason for that? All my other watches stop the mechansim when the crown is pulled out to the setting position.
