I have one Co-Axial Omega in my collection and I've had issues with this watch since day one.
It initially ran at +8 sec/day and now after one year it runs at +14 sec/day. One expects reasonable accuracy from a $3000 watch and I'm so disappointed with it that I don't even wear it anymore.
In contrast, I recently bought a mint 1967 Constellation with a Cal 564 movement which apparently has never been serviced which runs at +4 seconds a day. I also have a Bond SMP which runs at +1.2 sec/day.
The Co-Axial is in my opinion overpriced and does not " ensure greater accuracy over time " Then there is the confusion over the service intervals which has changed from 10 to 5-7 years.
The latter fumbling was an embaressment and negated one of the big advantages.
If Omega wants to "get up there" and butt heads with Rolex as is its clear intention, it would help if they can deliver what they promise - a genuinely superior movement.
