Aqua Terra losing time... suggestions?

Hello fellow Omega fans. I bought an Aqua Terra (2504.50.00) back in July and at first it was VERY accurate (could go weeks and still be within a second or 2). Now I have been noticing for about the past 1-2 months it is consistently losing, I would estimate, about 2-3 seconds per day. I realize this is still in the acceptable range for a chronometer, but after a few weeks the seconds start to add up and it gets annoying. Any suggestions of how I might be able to fix this? I wear it about 5 days a week, but never go 2 consecutive days without wearing it. I normally rest the watch at night on its side with the crown UP. Thanks for your help.

Matt
