·Hello dear omega family, I’ve been following this forum as a guest for couple of months to catch some information related automatic watches and our lovely brand, but stucked in a point and need advice from experienced watch lovers as you.
I bought my brand new Seamaster Aqua Terra in November 2017. Since January 2024, it started to loosing 1 minute / day. I’m wearing it almost all day from 09 am to 23 pm, doing exercise while wearing etc. As the information I tried to catch here, I assume I need to have service for my watch (oil change etc). Now I have a questions?
1- Is it normal for a brand new Omega watch to loose 30 minutes in a month, just 6 years after purchasing?
And also while I try to understand why this happened, I think maybe temperature effects:
2- I’m doing snowboard in the winter so I go to mountains and sometimes the outside temperature is -5 or -10 degrees.
Also In the summer it lays in my backpack under the sun by poolside. Temperature is around 35 degrees but you know, when you touch objects under the sun, they are warmer than the outside temperature.
So can these high / low temperatures effect oil or stg extra to make my watch slow? If so, after my watch have service, should I leave it in the room when going sun bedding or snowboarding?
Thanks in advance for all your valuable comments!
