    Chronometers

    Are chronometers only found on certified watches like Rolex and Omega when deemed so by rigorous testing. So if it is an auto it is not neccessarily a chronometer?

    "Chronometer" means a measurer of time, just as a thermometer is a measurer of temperature. However, "chronometer" has become a technical term, used just for those movements that have been certified to meet some standards set up by the Swiss watch industry. Many movements that meet those standards haven't been certified. Not all automatics have been certified. Some movements that have been certified no longer meet those standards when put into a watch case and shipped.

    A movement that is adjusted and made to be adjusted is keeno.

    Best wishes,
    Bob

    What they fail to inform is that COSC limits go from 4s/day losing to 6s/day gaining (and this is for the uncased time-only module).

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
