PO Accuracy

[ldog]

What Accuracy should I expect form my PO? Mine is about +6 seconds per day face-up.

[coda]

I've gotten +3 after a few days of owning it.

[foghorn]

Mines +2.5/day.
COSC is from -4 to +6 so you're officially running within COCS specs.(albeit on the edge)

[timefinder]

Foghorn raises a good point. You are litteraly on the edge of acceptance w/in COSC spec. Is the watch new? If so, after a month or two, the break in period should be over, and it should be better. Nonetheless, keep an eye on it. Should it slip out of spec, it should be covered under warranty (assuming purchased from an AD. If grey, check their warranty.)

That's on par with mine. Been 5-6 sec. fast per day since I got it....

[JPS]

my PO runs at a steady +1 per day which i'm really happy with. even though +6 is still considered within COSC specs i would find that sort of gain frustrating.

[turbo311]

I didn't know there's a break in period! My new Seamaster Professional is definitely running more than +4 per day. Guess I should wait a few months to see if it slows down? How does that happen?

Greetings again Mr Turbo


Have you tried storing your watch overnight in different positions and observing whether it gains or loses overnight in those respective positions, such as crown down, crown up. dial up. Following this exercise you can "fine tune" the accuracy of your SMP.


Be well now

My PO Chronograph runs about +3.5 sec/day. It doesn't seem to matter how I store it overnight. As I have said before this is far preferable to a watch running slow because it is so easy to set by just stopping the second hand for a few seconds. This watch does have a hacking or chopping second hand(when you pull the crown all the way out the second hand stops). Hal

While you shouldn't have to do it if worn all day, I found with my SMP GMT that keeping the watch fully wound increased accuracy considerably.

I would just manually wind it before bed (a couple of turns until the click click telling me it was fully wound) and then again in the morning.
I went from -3 seconds a day to less than -1 a week by doing that.

I found huge differences in the 'overnight storage' solutions: all of them made it run slower, actually outside COSC, unless lying face up.

[foghorn]

Both my Omegas are COSC certified and both run within COSC specs.
The majority of my other watches are within 12 secs/day which is OK by me.
I used to be an accuracy obsessed WIS until I realized that it was leading me down the road to ruin.
Even at +/- 30 secs. / day these wonferful little machines are displaying incredible accuracy for a man made device.
The only cure for accuracy obsession,I fear, is quartz.

LOL Foggy

Don't be afraid ;D ;D


Be well pal

The general thread here seems to indicate that the coaxial movement is incredibly uniform in it's accuracy. My SMP co ax stays at 2-3 seconds per day fast regardless of the wear or rest position. I have the COSC certificate which shows the same numbers. After reading the current Watch Time article about the Hour Vision it woud appear that Omega's goal is for the co ax to consistently stay within 2 seconds fast per day. Incredible machines any way you look at it. Oddly enough my new Speedy, in caliber 1861, stays within 1 second per day with all day wear and overnight resting position crown up. I'm a new guy to all of this but obviously that movement is a legend for a reason. To add even more icing to our multiple slices of cake all of these Omega's are simply a pleasure to wear and look at each and every day. Works of art. Enjoy chatting with you all and sharing the simple pleasure.

Well as you may know from my previous posts Mike, I've had good experience with the Co-Axial. All three that I've bought over the past three years have consistently kept to within +1 sec daily. I've had non-Co-Axials perform better or just as well but as the aim of Omega was for there to be a longer period over which the movement would retains its' accuracy, this may just turn out to be a case of " mission accomplished ".

Glad you're enjoying your watches my friend. Has Linnie seen anything else she might want you to buy yet?


Be well now guys

Zin, I think the next Omega will be one that fit's on Linnie's wrist. I'll keep showing her things as they catch my eye. We'll be showing her grandson the Speedy in a couple of weeks. He already has a photo of it posted in his room. We've probably started an eight year old on his way to becoming a lifetime Omega buyer in the future.
