Customer’s Watch: Omega Speedmaster Professional
A customer recently brought an Omega Speedmaster Professional to our professional watch service centre for a complete inspection.
The owner explained that the watch had been in regular use for many years and had recently developed several performance issues.
The main concern was unstable timekeeping, along with a noticeable decrease in overall operating efficiency.
Initial Inspection and Diagnosis
After receiving the watch, our watchmaker performed a detailed inspection of the exterior condition and mechanical performance.
The examination showed:
-
Increased timekeeping deviation
-
Reduced power reserve
-
Lower movement efficiency
-
Chronograph function requiring adjustment
Although the watch remained in good external condition, the movement showed signs of long-term operation.
Cause of the Mechanical Issues
A mechanical chronograph movement contains many precise components working together.
After years of daily operation, several factors may affect performance:
-
Lubricants becoming less effective
-
Increased friction between moving parts
-
Dust accumulation inside the movement
-
Adjustment changes caused by continuous use
Without proper maintenance, these conditions may gradually influence accuracy and reliability.
Professional Repair and Maintenance Process
To restore the watch’s performance, a complete servicing procedure was carried out.
1. Movement Disassembly
The movement was carefully removed and fully disassembled.
Each component was inspected to identify possible wear or performance issues.
2. Component Cleaning
All movement parts were professionally cleaned to remove:
-
Old lubricants
-
Fine particles
-
Mechanical residue
This process helps restore the efficiency of each component.
3. Inspection of Chronograph System
The chronograph mechanism was carefully examined, including:
-
Operating levers
-
Gear system
-
Timing components
-
Reset function
Proper adjustment was performed to ensure smooth operation.
4. Lubrication and Reassembly
After inspection and cleaning, the movement was carefully rebuilt.
Professional lubricants were applied according to the requirements of the movement structure.
5. Precision Testing
After completion, the watch underwent multiple tests:
-
Timekeeping accuracy
-
Amplitude performance
-
Chronograph operation
-
Power reserve performance
The movement was adjusted to ensure stable daily performance.
Final Result After Service
After the complete maintenance process, the Omega Speedmaster Professional returned to smooth and reliable operation.
The customer was satisfied with the improved accuracy and restored chronograph performance.
The Importance of Regular Chronograph Maintenance
Chronograph watches contain more complex mechanisms compared with standard time-only watches.
Regular professional servicing helps to:
-
Maintain movement reliability
-
Protect internal components
-
Extend the lifespan of the watch
-
Preserve long-term value
A classic chronograph such as the Omega Speedmaster Professional represents decades of watchmaking history and deserves careful maintenance to continue performing at its best.
