This is a tricky situation to be in because you are running at the lower end of the COSC spec. Watches do "settle in" a bit over time, but, more often than not, they tend to slow down as they are "broken in". So, your watch could start to run even slower over time.

If it is only two weeks old and if you bought it from an authorized dealer, you may want to ask them if they can exchange the watch for a new one. As long as they didn't date the warranty card, they can ship this one back to Omega as defective and give you a replacement. If not, then, yes, a factory regulation would be covered under warranty since the watch is running out of COSC specs.

Before doing anything, however, I would try resting it in different positions at night (face up, crown up, crown down, etc.) to see if any of these positions help your watch keep better time. If not, and if your watch continues to deviate further from the COSC specs, then I would either ask for a replacement or have it regulated under warranty.

Good luck,
