Omega Speedmaster reduced - time setting

[Nt016]

Hi chaps,

Possible beginner Speedmaster question?

I only just noticed something weird on my my Omega acquisition from earlier this year. Had never really noticed before - when setting the time, the crown direction when winding goes the opposite direction to set the time. I.e - when i wind towards 12 the hands go backwards...

Can someone please explain if this is indeed expected from a Speedmaster? And maybe why?

Haha, so it does. I never noticed that either.
