Precision-Accuracy Tracking: Omega Seamaster 2254.50 calibre 1120 (COSC) | ||||
|
Time-keeping performance on a COSC Omega
Seamaster watch was tracked against the US Naval
Observatory Master Clock on a running daily average and day-over-day,
starting on November 10, 2005, and concluding on February 19, 2006. In total,
101 days were observed — quite possibly making this one of the
longest-running independent looks at Seamaster performance. This model watch was never worn in a James Bond movie. However, it shares the same Omega calibre 1120 movement (which is fundamentally what we're assessing in these trackings) as is found in the Omega 2531.80 reference Seamaster. The link below provides complete access to this 9-page report and data. Note that for any given minute tracked, the second-hand position deviated by as much as three-quarters of a second, revolution after revolution, depending on its position relative to the dial. In other words, this watch could be observed as exactly matching the USNO Master Clock with the second-hand pointing at one number on its dial, and be 0.75 seconds slow (or fast) as it traveled through another position, then exactly matching again as it passed the initial point cited. |
