Please allow us to interrupt your gear turning and caliber learning to say thank you. Thank you for being here! Now, back to the movement..
- Elaborated Grade – Adjusted to four positions / average accuracy of +/-5 sec/day to +/-20 sec/day.
- Top Grade – Adjusted to five positions / average accuracy of +/-4 sec/day to +/-15 sec/day.
- Chronometer (COSC) Grade – Adjusted to five positions / average accuracy of -4/+6 sec/day.
From Wikipedia:
The key components which differ at the line of demarcation between Elaborated and Top are the pallet stones, balance wheel & hairspring, and the regulator mechanism. The degree of decoration on the movement’s parts also increases with the grade. –Source
