Re: AT slowing down

In Response To: AT slowing down ()

Technically your watch is still running within the COSC spec, which is -4 to +6 seconds per day. If you are losing 3 to 4 seconds per day you are still within the spec so Omega would not do anything under your warranty coverage.

You can, however, take the watch to a competent watchmaker to have it regulated. My Bond SMP had been gaining 4-5 seconds a day, still within the COSC spec, but I knew that regulation could improve this. It now gains about 1 second per day. The regulation only cost me $25, which was well worth it.

You may also want to try leaving the watch in different positions overnight (crown up, crown down, etc.), as the effect of positioning on timekeeping can vary greatly from watch to watch.

Good luck.
