: Greetings.

: I am new to this board, and high-end watches in
: general.

: I am interested in obtaining a new, highly
: accurate watch. I practice celestial
: navigation, where accuracy is paramount.
: Thus, I am more interested in Quartz watches
: than mechanical ones. Also, the Junghans
: radio controlled watches do not interest me,
: as they may not be able to receive the time
: sync signals when offshore.

: There is information floating around the
: internet that some quartz watches contain a
: temperature compansation system that
: increases their accuracy to the point that
: they will not very more than +/- 10 seconds
: per year.

: The watches that are supposed to contain this
: feature are: Piquot Meridian Octanis
: Longines VHP
: Krieger Marine Chronometer (possibly
: discontinued)
: (all of the above are certified +/- 10 seconds
: per year)

: Seiko's Perpetual Calendar line
: (a +/- 20 second per year watch)

: http://www.longines.ch, then click on watches,
: then on Conquest, the on the fourth watch
: from the left

: My question (finally!) is that several postings
: have indicated that the Omega Seamaster
: Professional (the 300M series, I believe) is
: also supposed to have this feature.

: Can anyone here confirm or deny this
: information on the Omega? If not, do you
: know where I can find this information?

: If so, this is the watch I will probably end up
: with, as it is the best looking of the
: bunch.

: Thanks,

: Colin
Try looking at the Breitling Quarts, they have chronometer quarts that are extreamly accurate.
