If your watch is at the very bottom of its power reserve, then its timekeeping can become erratic. You say you wear it almost everyday, which means that it could be losing its power reserve from sitting around on the days you don't wear it.

The best way to check it is to fully wind the watch by turning the crown until you hear a faint clicking noise as you wind. This is the overwind protection mechanism engaging, meaning the watch is fully wound. Once wound, be sure to wear it everyday for the next week or so and for as many hours as possible each day. Then see if the watch still loses so much time.

Since your watch is a certified chronometer, it should run within the COSC specs of -4 to +6 seconds per day. If it doesn't, then Omega will regulate it for you under warranty.

Good luck,
