    Fellow SM 300 Master owners. What sort of accuracy are you getting on yours in real world use?

    I have had mine on the wrist for 6 days and it lost a whopping 2 seconds.
    That is .33 a day, and 9.9 over 30 days.
    That is Quartz territory.

    Maybe i got a knock off and there is a quartz movement hidden in there.

    Its more a matter of luckily good regulation but that's a nice figure to have, and the watch looks superb

    I like that NATO on it - I wish Omega did one that color

    For a second there, I thought you were going to ask if it needed to be regulated! Outstanding watch!!

    After 5 days of ownership mine is running +12 seconds. I am very happy with that.

    I had to set mine today. Other than the date being wrong, it had gained a minute.

    ..... since 27th April.

    To be honest the accuracy is scary I'm beginning to to the think the clear clear case back is just a ploy. I too am thinking there's some Quartz trickery going on here. I'm going to set mine tonight against my Quartz sm300 if there's negligible difference I'm saying too accurate for a mechanical.

    I think that all Master Co-Axial 8500 movements are manufactured to the same Omega standard, regardless of the case style. My two AT with Master Co-Axial run both 4 sec per day fast. I can only hope that over time I may get results like you.

    Some shots of the omega NATO, I prefer the bracelet for most everything. And bonus photo for the significant other peering over your shoulder:

    Reset 3/9/15: (cumulative fast 196 sec in 90 days). 13 sec fast 10 days. 67 sec fast 41 days.
    Reset 5/4: 120sec 51d.
    Reset 7/14.

    Hello. New member here. Nice watch by the way! But for me, I would rather have it go a few seconds faster than late. Don't want to be late for an appointment lol.

    My three week old master co-ax AT has added 6 seconds in the last two weeks, total. No complaints here.
