Hi all, have a Omega Aqua Terra Chrono 3301 movement which I've been wearing daily for almost 4 years. Noticed that it is running fast and need to adjust every few weeks/month or so. Is this a sign it needs to be serviced?

you've had it for 4 years..usually omegas get serviced at about 5. but it can be earlier if it isn't keeping proper time. with that being said, yes, it could be time for yours to get serviced.

Potentially. Either needs a service or it's magnetized.

How fast is it running?

Andad · 9 April 2012, 12:04 PM

x2.

Can you be more specific?
Is it minutes fast? seconds fast?

Monte Cristo · 9 April 2012, 03:47 PM

Maybe 3-4 minutes fast per month.

Andad · 9 April 2012, 04:12 PM

3 minutes fast per month is just on the COSC limit IMO. 4 minutes fast per month would be outside this spec but not by much. Could be a simple regulation would improve it providing its current variation is consistant.

do you suggest a service? Do you know how much Omega charges?

I am not a believer in fixed service intervals for watches. Being 4 years old this watch would not be under warranty so you could just take it to Omega and ask then to price an adjustment or wear it for another 6 years and have it adjusted during a service.
I would not service a four year old watch.
