co-axial system is the tops
HI guys.
I have been collecting Omega and Rolex watches for thirty years,all are good watches and time keepers.
However my 2003 seamaster co-axial chronometer wipes the floor with all of them.
Usually averaging out to a few seconds over a six month period.
The best hand made,hand finished,hand timed watch in the world does not come close.
When the COSC tighten up their out of date minus 4 plus six seconds a day,Omega may well end up the top chronometer producer.
Rolex and Breitling will have a tough time against the co-axial system.They may well have to hand time each and every watch they submit ,which will obviously push up their prices.
I suspect the Omega 8500 series of movements to be superior to anything out there.
Astonishing accuracy...
I'm coming to the conclusion that when Geoge Daniels designed his Co-axial escapement to challenge the stability and accuracy of the quartz wristwatch, and sustain public affection for the mechanical wristwatch he certainly succeeded - in my case at least...
That's an amazing level of accuracy, Michael . . .
. . . but not entirely surprising because similar results have been reported on various watch forums. If there are any other owners of Omegas equipped with a co-axial escapement that can chime in with their experience, please do so in this thread. My one ...
I had the same results with my Limited Edition Red Gold Co-ax ...
Hi Michael.... I had the same experience with my red gold coaxial. I did not wear it everyday, but i placed it on a winder when it was not on my wrist.. After about 4 months it has gained 4 seconds !! Which I thought was stunning in 1999. That was the ori...
Agree
I have two COSC Co axial Omega's and they are the most accurate of all my watches. I did have the teething problem on a Cal 3603, where it had stopped twice during two weeks. However off to mediation and it was back in 6 weeks. Has been on a winder since ...
Yup... Me Too on my 2500c PO
I keep my three automatic watches continuously wound on my winder. Each of the three (one a Valjoux 7750 with "Chronometre" finish; one a Glashutte Original Caliber 100 and one the Omega Coaxial 2500c) demonstrates slightly different traits if I just leav...
I wonder...
Often I read happy owners of Omega watches takling about the accuracy of their Omegas. As I really like accuracy and precision, sometimes I wonder if they are just lucky or if every single (or most) co-axial Omega watch made in Bienne and avitabile in eve...
