Omega PO 8500 Calibre timekeeping
Discussion
After having had a Rolex Submariner for almost 16 years, accurate timekeeping was never at the forefront of my aspirations despite its huge cost at the time.
Recently I bought a new Omega Planet Ocean and wear it as a daily. It does sit on the bedside from around 6pm until 8 am most nights and is generally unworn over the weekend.
I set it in late May with the clock on tinternet showing exact actual time in Uk and today I checked to see the result. Lost 2 seconds in 3.5 weeks which for a mechanical watch is astonishing I think.
Of course this post is of no real value to anyone except someone considering an Omega with the 8500 movement and even then it may only be uber geeks that find it of value.
Cheers
