Hey Guys, Just wondering if the Speedy Pros are COSC rated.  Cheers Aaron  |

No Aaron they aren't but in my humble experience they keep time to within COSC parameters. The Co-Axial 50th Anniversary models are though but as you know, the least expensive of them buys two or more of a 3573.50 but of course you do get the tools, the box, the extra strap and deployment clasp, that easy-to-work-on ergonomic bracelet. Want me to go on? ;D ;D Be well pal ZIN  Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D |

My new one has been about +1 per day.....actually better than my COSC Bond.

**** good, and could easily be regulated if needed to get that little something extra based on your wearing style...
Hand wind is awesome!

Well I never saw the fascination in a manually-wound watch before but the Speedy Pro changed all that and you don't have to worry about date-change procedures. In addition, the daily routine of hand-winding enhances the bonding experience with one's watch.  Y'all be well now pals ZIN Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D |

There have been a few LE Speedy Pros that have been COSC tested, including the LE white gold Apollo XI ref.148.0062..  |

My Speedy has always been within COSC specs.
And I agree with Houston, there is a bonding experience with a hand-wind mechanical that you'll never get with an automatic.
Actually, I get annoyed with my autos now. I've got a single watch winder which means I'm constantly having to set my other autos. Annoying. I would buy a multiple winder, by I wear my Speedy so much that I can't justify it's cost right now.

Does Omega have a standard that is acceptable for their non-COSC watches? For example, if my watch were running +30 a day would they service it because it was outside "x" range?

I would hope so. That's what I'd expect Omega to have. That's what would make Omega... Omega. Or any great watch company.
Again, I would hope so.

I would have thought a few more seconds on the minus range. I guess they figure it is better to be early for an appointment than late. ;D |
