Hi Richard:
It's my understanding that this optimization can be done by changing the
oscillator power level at the crystal.
In the case of the 32768 Hz watch crystal, it must be run a very low
power and it has a very low aging rate when compared to higher frequency
crystals that are typically run at higher power levels. I think this is
related to the crystal throwing off atoms, so more power means more
acceleration and more atoms thrown off.
Have Fun,

Since both units are the same model, but with different
P/N and both meet the OCXO134-10 spec but have different characteristics I
believe they were each optimized for a different characteristic when
originally ordered, one for low aging, and one for high stability.
