Omega calibre 3313
Is there a problem with this calibre? I have read elsewhere of people having problems. Is it real or just someone who is upset? I just bought a Planet Ocean chronograph so I'm curious. Hal
Answer:
...but it kind of depends on who you talk to as to how bad they are. Do a search here for "33xx problem" and you should get some hits. Also, Chuck Maddox ( a well known and respected WIS ) has a lot of information on his blog.
My impression is that the faults were real, and were more prevalent in the early days of the movement. And yes, that made people upset, and upset people make a lot of noise, but so would I if my 3K+ watch stopped working. As the movement aged and Omega made modifications, the failure rate went down, but to this day there are still issues. Some of them are just older movements in watches the have been on the shelf for a while. Newer productions watches don't seem to be having nearly as many problems, but the bad mojo is still out there.
Bear in mind that they weren't all bad. There are plenty of people running arround with 3301 movements on their wrists who have never had a single issue. I have a 3303 (decorated version of the 3301) and its been fantastic. I bought the watch NOS - is it a ticking time bomb? I don't know. For now, its extrememly accurate and the chrono pushers are as smooth as butter - not a single problem.
I think your PO chrono is pretty safe. I remember seeing one problem with a POC owner, and I don't know if it was ever determined if the problem was related to the earlier movement. Your 3313 has the Coaxial escapement, and other assorted improvements (and fixes?).
And since you've recently bought your PO chrono, your 3313 will have all improvements & mods incorporated and will run just perfectly, I'm sure.
It is a great movement and a piece of art!! Wonderful to look at...
