·Hi everyone.
I have been interested in the COSC Certification process for a while now, and have done a bit of research into it.
Anyway about 2 weeks ago, I decided to contact OMEGA in Switzerland to see if the COSC Certificates for 2 of my Seamasters were available
1. 2014 Seamaster Diver 300M
2. 2017 Seamaster Diver 300M Commanders Watch
I have to say that dealing with Omega in Switzerland was nothing short of excellent throughout, all done via email.
They requested photos of the 2 International Warranty Cards (which had to be fully completed) and once received they very quickly confirmed that the 2 Certificates were available at the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) in Switzerland.
Once I had paid the fee CHF 100 (approx GBP 80) per Certificate (by Bank Transfer) the Certificates were immediately ordered/requested from the COSC.
Once they were received back at OMEGA Switzerland (Bienne) they were then immediately posted to my home address in the UK, and they arrived today.
Parchment paper within an Omega cardboard folder, and a lovely handwritten note.
The whole process from request to receipt took just under 2 weeks.
Now, I know that arguments about whether these certificates are of any use or value, but they do to me, and form part of the documentation of my watches.
Also, I know that the test results are only a snapshot on the testing days, but i still find them interesting. I also check accuracy of my watches during each rotation.
Anyway, thanks for reading, hopefully some may find it interesting and if people have been thinking about requesting their COSC Certificates then all I would say is that it’s simple and quick to do.
Enjoy your day.
Cheers,
John
