>You can say Chronometer no problem, you just say can't it is officially certified.
No. You cannot call it a chronometer at all without that certification. The "Superlative officially certified" stuff is just extra text Rolex put on there to make it seem more impressive. You can choose the other text but "Chronometer" or "Chronometre" are reserved words.

Before doing the master chronometer thing, Omega, for example, just put "Chronometer" on their dials but they were put through the exact same tests as the Rolex or Breitling Chronometers.

In Seiko's case, they were selling watches that matched the chronometer standards but hadn't been certified by a third party. It's no different than me telling you I can run a 10 second 100m dash and when you ask for proof, I tell you to just trust me.
