I heard that some Quartz models have sweeping hands, didn't know that some Omegas have it.

I'm 100% certain that no current Omega quartz movement has a sweep hand. I've owned 3 Seamasters (2 quartz and 1 auto) and the quartz models did not have sweeping hands.

Seiko make a quartz sweeping-hand movement - Spring Drive - but it is very expensive. The other fairly well known example is Accutron although those are vintage models from the 60's / 70's.

But as always, if someone knows better I'm prepared to be proved wrong about the Omega! :) :wink:
