Accuracy
Accuracy of the ETA caliber 2892-A2 can range from as much as +/-20 seconds per day to just +/-5 seconds/day. The accuracy that your watch experiences depends on the grade that the watch manufacturer chose to power their watches.
Grades
Similar to other ETA movements, there are 3 grades of production quality.
- 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
