Many Omega battery operated watches have an intelligent feature which indicates that a battery replacement is due. The second hand jumps in 4 second intervals to indicate that the battery is nearing the end of its life before the watch completely ceases to function. During this period the watch usually provides accurate time. The below video shows the End of Life function (EOL) activating on an Omega Seamaster showing the hand skipping in 4 second intervals:
