A higher crystal frequency does not imply greater accuracy. The accuracy depends on the long term stability of the crystal, not its frequency. A higher frequency could provide greater precision, but that increased precision does not provide any added benefit on a time piece that only displays time to the nearest 1/4 of a second or so and maybe 1/10 second on a chronograph version of this line of watches. This is the difference between accuracy and precision.
The most accurate watch I have is the Bulova UHF which is hardly off one second after a month. Whatever you call it, it works to make the watch more accurate than any others I know of, regardless of cost. And I paid less than $200 for it !!
