Calibre Omega 8916 Accuracy
The accuracy of the Calibre Omega 8916 is 0/+5 seconds per day. On the surface that doesn’t seem as accurate as the Rolex calibres but that number includes the average of the entire Master Chronometer Certification. That 0/+5 seconds per day rating takes into account extreme conditions. Under normal conditions one could safely assume it’s much much better and when you add into account the anti-magnetic features of the Calibre Omega 8916 movement, this movement is far superior to competitive brands in the watch community.
