The answer to your question is no. To advance the date forward, unscrew crown, pull it out one position, turn crown backward (counter-clockwise).

This is from the official Omega Operating Instructions, and I quote:

Calibers 1120, 2500, 2520

The crown has 3 positions:

1. Normal position (wearing position): when pushed into the case, the crwon ensures that the watch is water-resistant.

Occasional winding: if the watch has not been worn for 44 hours or more, wind it up with the crown in position 1.

2. Date setting: pull the crown out to position 2, turn the crown backwards and push it back to position 1.

NOTE: date-setting is not recommended between 8pm and 2am.

3. Time setting: hours - minutes - seconds. Pull the crown out to position 3. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown forwards or backwards. Synchronise the seconds by pushing the crown back to position 1 to coincide with a given time signal.

Hope this helps :)

Sounds as though the watch is stopped at a time between 8:00 and 2:00. If so, pull the crown out to position 3 and set the time to something after 2:00 but before 8:00. Then try crown position 2 again and turn it counter-clockwise to change the date. Alternatively, you may be repeatedly pulling the crown into a position between 1 & 2 or between 2 & 3. If that's what you suspect, try taking the watch to a local watchmaker or watch store for some help.

Simply unscrew the crown and pull it out to the first click, rolling the crown will quickset the date but make sure you set the hands to six o'clock-ish first so as not to damage the date change mechanism...
