  Time-keeping performance on a COSC Omega Seamaster watch was tracked against the US Naval Observatory Master Clock on a running daily average and day-over-day, starting on October 6, 2005, and concluding on October 29 of that same year. In total, 23 days were observed.

This model watch was worn by actor Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in three movies: Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day.

The link below provides complete access to this 2-page report and data.

Note that for any given minute tracked, the second-hand position deviated by as much as one-quarter of a second, revolution after revolution, depending on its position relative to the dial. In other words, this watch could be observed as exactly matching the USNO Master Clock with the second-hand pointing at one number on its dial, and be 0.25 seconds slow (or fast) as it traveled through another position, then exactly matching again as it passed the initial point cited.
