mechanical watches with a certified chronome-
ter movement
OMEGA
watches bearing the chronometer inscription (in accor-
dance with the certificate issued by your authorised
OMEGA
retai-
ler) are high-precision timepieces that have passed the precision
tests of the official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (Contrôle
officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, CoSC).
This neutral and independent body individually tests each move-
ment for 360 consecutive hours, during which it is placed in the
five common wrist positions and exposed to three different tem-
peratures.
To earn the title of chronometer, the mechanical movement’s ave-
rage daily variation in rate must be between –4/+6 seconds per
day, or a precision of 99.99%, the highest precision attainable by
a mechanical movement.
