Re: Omega Service Question
In Response To: Re: Omega Service Question ()

: Guys, I am a newie to the forum and the SMP
: chronometer (Have just purchased SMP only 5
: days ago). Can I ask what 'regulation' mean?
: What does it do to the watch and how often
: SMP need that type of service? Thanks in
: anticipation.

Regulation refers to correcting a mechanical movement if it is running too fast or too slow. It is an adjustment only and not a repair. How often it is necessary depends upon individual watches (and how particular you are about having the exact time)! Many people set the time once a month and if it strays a few minutes or so during that period it's not much of a drama. My SMP started off with great accuracy but after 9 months wear lost about a minute a week cumulatively, putting it outside of COSC performance despite being a chronometer. Have a look at the consumer zone under accuracy - there is good information to be found there!
