Which positioning error arises when a chronometer's escapement mechanism prematurely releases in the high-latitude sailing?

💡 Explanation

Longitudinal positioning gets unreliable during higher latitudes because the cold oil increased the balance wheel's oscillation period triggering change in timing within a chronometer; therefore, an underestimated value accumulates eastward, rather than affecting calculated relative positioning due to inaccurate measurement of angles alone.
