My Colt Ocean quartz is Chronometer certified, and hasn't lost a second in the past 6 months, but again neither ha smy Timex Atlantis. Do I really care? NO, but it makes interesting conversation sometimes, and after reading a few remarks about Omega quartz movements, I don't understand why Omega doesn't go the extra mile and do the same for their quartz movements too. I do however have a new respect for quartz movements after reading the the post below on the quartz crystal.
One thing I didn't realize is the mechanical movements are machine assembeled? Wow, that shoots my dreams of the old watch maker assembling these things, but it's truely fantastic. However, I will always have a passion for mechanical movements, and I suspect they will always be around; Maybe my great great great grandson will be a WIS too.
