the cosc
The renowned Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (“Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres”, or COSC) was founded in 1973 and is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. It is an independent public institution serving the Swiss art of watchmaking. Its strict criteria are considered the standard for evaluating the precision of modern wristwatches – whether equipped with mechanical or quartz movements.
Quartz chronometers
COSC Certification is considered worldwide to be the epitome of precision. All quartz movements presented here are subjected to strict tests at a variety of temperatures. The maximum permissible rate deviation at 23°C is +/- 0.07 seconds per day; at 8°C and 38°C the tolerances are +/- 0.2 seconds; Precidrive™ movements overcome these hurdles easily.

Automatic chronometers
Accuracy: Star VS SARB035
The demands placed by the COSC on modern timekeeping are very high. Automatic (self-winding) watches are tested here for 15 days at three different temperatures and in different positions; their rate deviations are measured and recorded scrupulously. In order to obtain the coveted “Chronometer” title the rate precision of a movement must fall within the range of -4/+6 seconds per day.
