Yes and no.

There is a yawning gulf between what happens inside an ICE and the various functions that motor oil performs in service verses what happens inside a watch case.
Not to mention the viscosities and unique properties.

To that, viscosity and the effects of shearing are one thing and oxidative thickening and acid formation are another.

Probably best not to try and draw any comparisons.
