There is an Omega Seamaster Owner's Club and Railmasters are Seamasters, but so are multiple other Seamaster models (300's, Chronos, Aqua Terra's, Planet Ocean's, Bullhead's, Ploprof's) which dilute it too much. I think Railmaster's deserve their own Official Owner's Club, so here it goes!

All Railmaster versions are welcome: vintage, manuals, autos, jumbos, chronos, coaxials, master coaxials, LE / anniversary, etc. so all climb aboard!

Here's my current Railmaster: A 39 MM caliber 2403 model 2503.52.00

First on steel bracelet:

Here on Omega OEM alligator band with deployant:

and finally on black cordura snoopy band with deployant:

Show us the one (s) you own, had or wish to own !!!!!!

I just purchased a Railmaster earlier this month. I synced it two weeks ago with the atomic clock (on a full wind too) and it’s already lost 15 secs. My understanding is a METAS certified master chronometer is not suppose to lose any time. Am I being unreasonable?

Possibly.

I think the "Master Chronometer" claim for the 88xx series of movements is that they average 0 to +6 seconds per day, across all the positions they measure.

So it's reasonable to think "this watch should never run slow". But it's possible that one position may be slower than the others, and so if you have the watch more often in that position, you could have a watch that runs -1 second per day, as yours is, and still be within spec.

My recommendation would be first to relax and enjoy the watch. Even if it's consistently -1 s/d, that is absolutely incredible accuracy.

If that's not possible, and you find yourself bothered by that, my second recommendation would be to time the watch resting in different positions, and find the position where it runs a little faster than the others. You can then rest the watch in that position overnight, so things even out over time.

Oh, and post a photo! The Railmaster is one of the most beautiful watches around. I hope you can get to a place where you are unreservedly enjoying yours.

We are on day 9 and it’s 21 secs behind from when I synced it. Off to Omega it goes. Face down it is +2 secs, all other positions it ranges from. -8 to 0.

Back home after a 10-day vacation. This isn't my travel watch, but it seems like it's the first one I reach for when I am reunited with the watch box.

Adding a few of the blue on various straps / lighting. I use the black/grey one mostly but want to find a nice two piece strap too. Some of them weren't really picked out for this watch and also are the wrong size, but I had them laying around for other reasons and figured it didn't hurt to just get an idea.

The blue is a crown & buckle perlon.
Beige is is a crown & buckle in greige
Black/grey is just a hemsut from amazon, but similar colorway available on omega's site
The brown leather and black rubberized leather are for another watch and are the wrong size, but are from delugs.
