I wonder how often they would synchronize them?

From memory there would be a time broadcast from headquarters at 2100 every day.

(My father commented that the 'issue' pocket watch did not keep very good time and as a result he always used his own.)

"Office" watches were not always adjusted to the broadcast time, but any difference would be noted and a record kept for manual correction (to avoid disturbing the watch, which might cause the rate of drift to change).
