Chronometer

Chronometer

The deviations can be caused by external influences, such as changes in temperature or air pressure. The normal deviation of the accuracy is usually between 10 and 30 seconds/day. This value can drop to 6 seconds/day for high quality watches.
Even a watch with the title "official certified chronometer" has a small deviation despite many tests. As long as this is between + or - 4 to 6 seconds it can get a chronometer certificate.
A movement that deviates daily (86,400 seconds) by 30 seconds from the official time standard has an arithmetic error rate of 0.035%. Its degree of accuracy is already an amazing 99.965%. Chronometers can reach values as low as 0.005%.

Source Wikipedia: A watch can only call itself an official chronometer if its Swiss movement has passed a test (according to NIHS 95-11 / ISO 3159) by the independent Swiss observatory Contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres (COSC). If the movement of a watch receives the COSC certificate, the manufacturer usually marks the watch with the word Chronometer. After passing the test, the movement receives a corresponding certificate attesting to its accuracy.
