    I own for a year now an Omega FOIS and i noticed something when i set the chronograph.
    In detail, when i use the chronograph, i noticed that the hour hand (of the chronograph), is not pointing 100% correct.
    For example, after 12 hours exactly on the chronograph, the hour hand instead of pointing on the 12 marking it is past the 12 marking.

    A more obvious example is the image below. After exactly 4,5 hours , instead of the hand being right in the middle of 4 and 5, it is closer to the 5 marking.

    Is this something normal or i should get it for a check while it is in the warranty ?
    Note: I rarely use the chronograph, so it cannot be from much use.

    If you still have warranty, then send it to Omega

    I had issues with my Ultraman. When it came back, it was still a bit off but it was much better, within tolerances for them...Some advice found on the forums was to run it past 6 hours and reset it. It might align. Otherwise, send it back to Omega. They should be able to do it quickly.
