Re: Seamaster Quartz...
In Response To: Seamaster Quartz... ()

As a Omega SeaMaster Pro Chronograph owner since Xmas, the interesting thing is that we chronograph owners don't have a choice. The chronograph models of the 'Bond Seamaster Pro' are only available as 'auto wind' Chronometers anyway.

Howvever, to my mind, the Chronograph design means the accuracy is less of an issue since the 'seconds hand' is relegated to a small 'hard to see' dial on the left of the watch face. [The large second hand is used only in 'stopwatch' mode].

In consequence, you only focus on the 'hours and minutes' when you glance at the face rather than a continuously sweeping seconds hand!

As I type this, I notice my extremely expensive Swiss 'work of art' tells me it's exactly "just gone half past 12", so it's off to bed without a 'how many seconds has it lost' care in the world!
