Several threads have popped up recently in which erratic timekeeping of a number of Speedmasters have been discussed. I haven’t worn my Speedmaster for several months. So I decided I would dig it out and set it, and see how it performs in comparison. It has the gold plated calibre 853 movement in it, and it is 34 years old. I serviced it myself about one year ago. Model 345.0808. I don’t obsess with timing machine results. I just put it on and wear it. It is usually within about 30 seconds a week.


5 seconds fast in 3 days, or about 12 seconds fast in a week. Not good enough for some, but okay for me.

Another unsung long term resident of the Home For Wayward Watches that deserves more wrist time. This Mido is accurate and trouble free. Makes a good travel watch as its accuracy over a seven day period is suitable for my purposes without requiring adjustment.

Vintage Mido watches ought to get more respect.

Started the day with a Planet Ocean and realized today was a full moon so switched to a triple date moonphase.
