Re: Co-axial time-keeping question

In Response To: Co-axial time-keeping question ()

: Does anyone have any numbers concerning how
: well Omega's co-axial movement keeps time?
: What I'm looking are number of seconds
: gained/lost per day (or week or month or
: whatever).

Every mechanical watch varies, so ther eis not one answer that will apply to all coaxial movements. Each will perform based on its conditon and adjustements. But all Coaxial movements should perform well within COSC limits if adjusted correctly.

If you want the highest accuracy, quartz will always guarantee better accuracy than mechanical can.

The main advantage of the coaxial design is reduced wear over time, not any dramatic improvement in accuracy over other mechanical watches.
