And what movement does it have?

If you haven't measured it lately, sync it, then check it again around the same time tomorrow and post results.

Things you can sync it to:
-Watchville app
-clock on your computer
-time.gov
-the sun

This is a subtle brag thread as my Steinhart with an ETA 2824-2 elaborate is within +33 seconds after 11 days (+3 sec/day) and absolutely dominating its spec tolerance. It's even beating the specs for the next highest category. This is chrono level shite.

quote:

Four Grades of ETA 2824-2:
Standard – adjusted in two positions; accuracy of +/-12 sec/day up to +/- 30 sec/day
Elaborated – adjusted in three positions; accuracy of +/-7 sec/day up to +/- 20 sec/day
Top – adjusted in five positions; accuracy of +/-4 sec/day up to +/- 15 sec/day
Chronometer - ??

Omega Seamaster Diver 300
-In-house Omega 8800 Co-axial Master Chronometer movement
-Out of the box i think it was around ~2.7-3.0 sec / day, seems to have settled in closer to ~2.0 - 2.2 sec / day (~3 months of use)

I think mine’s a Top movement, but I didn’t buy the blue screw version. IDK about accuracy, but I have looked at where the second hand looked to drag. Maybe is was just low on power.

I’ll sinc it and see.

Can you tell what 2824-2 it is?

I can't. I'm not that advanced. What model Stowa is it? Google it and see.

There was a choice when I bought mine (5 years ago), I think I went with TOP. Just the Flieger Ikarus.

My steinhart ocean one has been an absolute beast. When I had it cleaned, the dude at the repair shop said it has better movement than a Rolex. Hell if I know but I beat the shite out of it and it keeps working. Best $500 watch you can buy.

Would you mind syncing it and updating? I'd like to see that.

Tudor Black Bay 36

It's a modified ETA 2824 Elaborate, and it runs +4 seconds per day. Good enough for me.
