Re: Seamaster Face

In Response To: Seamaster Face ()

: Hello: I'm curious about the wording on the
: face of the Omega Seamasters. I know that
: they now use the term Chronometer for the
: self-winding models but when did they stop
: using the word Automatic? I've seen many
: older models for sale using this term.
: Thank you in advance,

Myles,

The word Chronometer means that it has been certified by COSC to meet accurate standards. This can apply to both autos and quartz driven mechamisms (even though the latter is very rarely done). The word automatic doesn't need to be on there, as it is, there is already too much words on the SMP's face. But, I don't know when Omega stopped using it.

Hope that helped.....
