Can anyone who owns the new Pelagos with inhouse MT5612 movement share their experience with the accuracy of the new inhouse movement? I'm wondering how many seconds it gains or loses per day, and what variation you see if you leave it for a day or two off the wrist.

just got mine yesterday. will monitor and update here after a week
-
Cosc + Rolex made
I'm sure it will be good
-
Haven't monitored but it hasn't deviated to the extent that I need to double check with my phone. Is there an app that does this check?

I just use a spread sheet and record the difference from an atomic clock site like http://time.is
Don't use your computer clock because it might not sync frequently enough with the atomic clock servers.

MT5612 movement is 28800 bph . +-5 second perday
-
Yes my next watch Tudor after Omega. Time to save up!
-
been having it for 3 weeks now and it is 1 sec ahead... :thumbsup:

No idea on the in-house movement's accuracy, but for reference, the ETA2824 on the 1st gen Pelagos is amazingly accurate.
I'd say +1-2s/day as I've done so for the past year and it has been performing consistently.
I'd say, its crazily amazing.

Although Tudor uses ETA base movements, Rolex does some modifications to the base movements it receives from ETA before putting it into a Tudor.
Some of the modifications include, different mainspring (same as those used in Rolexes); modified balance bridge, instead of the standard ETA balance bridge, they replace it with a 'butterfly' balance bridge (support on both sides instead of one side only); plus they change the balance complete to those used in Rolex (Parachrom, hence the increased accuracy. AFAIK, in newer Tudor movements, the shock protection jewels are also changed to the new in-house Rolex developed system.
In essence, although the base movement is ETA, its more to a Rolex in technicality, as the important parts are replaced with those which are only found in a Rolex.

tudor 1st in house movement. i would say they will be better. they are releasing black bay with new MT movement also.
ETA base probably will getting phase out like pagalos for most Tudor watch so going forward there is unlikely many choices also.
-
