I have a 200M Seamaster Pro quartz from 1989. It has the temperature-compensated quartz movement, and I believe is the most accurate wrist-wearable timepiece out there. Mine is +- 1 second every 3 or 4 months. It's never been adjusted.

I've since moved on to automatics, because the smoothly-moving second hands are just so cool...but the engineer in me still loves the precision of that quartz movement.
