How long is the power reserve on your Speedmaster with 1861/1863 movement?

How long is the power reserve on your Speedmaster with 1861/1863 movement?

Mine seems to be way more than 45 hours

I get between 38 and 40 hours out of mine, which is 10 years old and had a service 5 years ago.

Recently acquired a 7 years old second hand Sapphire Sandwich.
Power reserve approx 40 hours, definatly less than 48 hours.
I normally wind it every morning.

Should check the Omega website.

I get around 45 hours or so, sometimes more... sometimes less. It depends if I am wearing it and/or the chrono gets used.

All in all, easily within spec.

i counted mine and it was like 52hr ?!

e.g. i winded it at 11pm Sat night, and it will stop Tuesday morning 3am.

Maybe the last few hr of power reserve is not reliable for time keep and chronograph?

Hey I have a dozen natos and zulus and this basic velcro strap is the most comfortable I've owned. No break in obviously...

I was affraid it was going to be too weird/silly with the writing on it but I'm glad I didn't get the plain one.

I'm the last to know...I know, I know!!!!but I can't believe how light just the head of the Moon watch is!? That bracelet is going in the box for my son to wear in 25 years...

The only problem is ( not that I care but I know some of you do!!! ) the little red paint dot from factory will be rubbed off by morning by the strap. LOL

Similarly, my 12-year-old Speedy Pro got approx. 51 hours on a full wind...3pm Saturday to just shy of 6pm Monday (without chrono activation during that period).
