Re: How long does it take movement to bed down?
In Response To: How long does it take movement to bed down? ()

: Hi Guys.

: Just got my replacement Seamaster from Swatch
: Group with it's COSC certificate straight
: from the factory.

: Question is how long does it take for the 1120
: movement to settle in?

: At the moment it is losing and gaining a lot
: more than the Chrono Specs a day.

: Any assistance from more seasoned Seamaster
: Professional owners would be appreciated.

: Cheers

: Jim

How much is A LOT? I own two Seamasters that have run well within COSC specs right out of the box, as have all of my other Omegas. If yours is not, I would send it back right away and demand a replacement.

You DO NOT want to take a chance that you have a "lemon" that isn't going to get better after a few months. Watches may "settle in" after a few weeks or a month, but this settling in shouldn't show a variation of more than a few seconds, so if yours is running well out of the COSC specs get rid of it NOW.
