Watch storage

Hello,

I have an Omega Constellation Double Eagle watch with the Co-Axial movement. It keeps great time, only gaining about 1 second a week. I have a question about the best way to store it, to maintain it's ability to keep such accurate time longterm. I keep the watch for special occasions and wear another watch on a daily basis. I may go for a couple of months without wearing it. Is it best to let it wind down and stop when I'm not wearing it, or leave it in my watch winder and keep it going all the time? I'm just wondering from a longevity perspective, what is best for the movement. Thanks for your thoughts.
