I went to the Omega boutique again and had about an 45 minute chat with the Technician , very interesting. The bottom line is that the clockwork design is pretty old and due to the design most speedmaster´s minute hand will vary around +/- 0.5s, although mine is above that with 0,8s. I tried several models in the shop, seems to be true. That one passes exactly at 60s seems to be sheer coincidence (only one out of 5 models which I tested). However, I noticed that my model is very accurate (2-3 seconds variation per day, measured over 3 days) which is untypical. He also tested it with the timegrapher.
So I could have it replaced, but chances are low that I find such an accurate one again as I understand it. I could also have it sent in and the minute hand adjusted, which I might do some day (warranty is 5 years).
