Should any 1675's date change slowly?

I'm kind of embarrassed for spending this much time on TRF and not noticing this sooner. Perhaps I've been in denial about my beloved root beer, an impulse buy from a couple years ago.

In any case, my 1675/3 changes its date slowly, starting at about 10:30pm. Basically, it's just like my wife's Air-King-Date, which has a caliber 1535 and is known to change its date gradually. I thought I remembered reading long ago about some early 1675's having that trait, but...maybe I'm crazy; I can't find anything about that now.

It ticks 5.5 bps, so it's not a 1560/1565 movement. It doesn't hack, so it's probably pre-1972 as I understand. Its 5.2m serial puts it at 1977, so yeah, kind of a red flag there too. It keeps good time, winds like butter, and has a good power reserve.

I remember the seller's pics appearing to have a 1575 movement (with "1570" bridge) as far as I could tell, but I was an even bigger novice at the time so who knows.

Are any 1675's supposed to have the slow, "non-clicky" date change? If not, could it be a symptom of needing a service? Or am I just living in Franken City? Thanks all!
