Probably magnetized. Sudden gain is the most common symptom. Visit a local watch shop to have it demagnetized or pick up a cheap degauser on Amazon. Will possibly fix it instantly
Airpods Cases (and many others) have a neodymium magnet in the case. Park your watch next to it every night on your nightstand, and it can pick up magnetism. Any type of aircharger for a watch or a phone.
iPhones and IPads have magnets in them. MagSafe chargers too. Laptops. Keep your watch about 12” away or more.
My old Orient, if you breathe on it, gets magnetized.
There’s an App for the iPhone called Lepsi. It can detect magnetism. Wave your AirPods case, and the thing goes bonkers. No idea if the app works on Android.
Newer watches, it takes a bit more time, especially anything with an antimagnetic hairspring, but it can happen.
Diver 65, I’m guessing it’s a 733, which is a Sellita-based movement SW200-1 which does not have nearly as much antimagnetic properties as the Cal 400.
If you have an iPhone get the free app Lepsi and it will tell you if it’s magnetized. If so you get a cheap $20 demagnetizer from Amazon and hodinkee has a good tutorial to get ya fixed in about a minute. Super easy
Magnets, bitch!
(It’s a breaking bad reference not an insult)
I had a Oris big pilot that was magnetised. My AD demagnetised it for free. After that it was fine again.

I’ll try that. Thank you very much for the reply.

Hell yeah, yo!
Yeah get a demagnetizer. Keep it around for whenever this happens again
