There is no way that a automatic watch, even the certified chronometers can beat the accuracy of a quartz. Don't mistaken me, I have a SM 120M chronometer version myself. I just want to be fair.
The new Seiko Perpetual Calendar watch series has a differential of less than 20 secs. a year. Back in the Eighties, Seiko had some twin-quartz models that would gain/loss less than 5 secs. a year!
I have a automatic watch because of many reasons that was mentioned in this and other threads of the forum, mainly for the passion for a Swiss Ceritified Automatic Chronometer.
Another problem was the concern of battery leaking and changing. I had a couple good watches (Baume & Mercier, etc.)that were ruined by the acid leakage of the battery. But now, Seiko has some models that use lithium batteries, which make the watches run for 10 years :)
