    Omega quartz watches.

    Just received an X-33 Omega and very nice it is too.

    Question to the forum - the date on the plastic peel off on the watch has a little date on it of 02/18. Does that mean the expected replacement date or the date installed? (If the former I guess I could be looking at a battery replacement soon).

    Watch looks BNIB to me - but this Ltd Edn came out a few years ago.

    The outer box date states: mfg. date ‘12/14.

    I can't be certain but I would expect that to be the date installed. Replacement date will depend on usage so difficult to predict and that's what the EOL indication is for.

    As an aside that's a lovely piece of engineering!

    Update: looks like that was the expected expiry date for the battery.

    The second hand has just started ‘jumping’ after I’ve been trying some functions - So I’ll chat with the AD what they can sort out. It’s on 14 return basis - I think all the batteries from that model are reaching EOL.

    I have changed the battery on my MKii x-33. Anyone changed a MK3?

    It’s going in for a battery change and AD was most apologetic and will pick up any cost.

    Can’t ask fairer than that.
