Not at all , according to Omega


Hi Peter,

I agree with Sam.

According to Omega running the Chrongraph permanntly shouldn't affect your watch. Derek Ziglar has a point about this topic in his Omega Owners guide => Link Here

I, personally, don't do this. I think any kind of movement of the gears etc within a watch MUST cause some kind of wear. So I prefer to minimize the wear as I can. This doesn't mean that I never usethe chronograph functions. I just use them when needed ( eg to time a boring meeting etc etc )

I don't belive that continous running of thr chrongraph features will affect the time keeping in anyway whatsoever.

All the Best

Steve
