That’s over five times more precise than international standards require. Why are we referencing all these numbers? Because Citizen’s Chronomaster timepieces are accurate to ±5 seconds a year.
While the typical quartz timepiece maintains a ☑ second a day average and good quartz timepieces make ☑5 seconds a month, by COSC standards, a quartz chronometer holds a requirement of ☒5.55 seconds a year. Some quick numbers to note: according to the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), mechanical tickers are considered to be highly precise when they maintain a rate of −4/+6 seconds per day. As a result, high-precision quartz timekeeping is making a strong comeback. This redefinition is in no small part due to the presence of smartwatches, which are driving forward digital timekeeping efforts. On paper, the citizen looks better, but we all know that doesn’t necessarily matter when buying watches. It is very rare for an eco drive to fail, and that washi dial is amazing. In recent days, however, there’s been increasing interest in redefining electronically assisted timekeeping – quartz-powered timekeepers are no longer simply the more accessible option. The Citizen will definitely be more trouble free than the grand seiko, as citizen has more features (that you are already aware of). At Revolution, we’ll be honest in saying that we’re a tad biased towards mechanical watchmaking.
