Tudor 76000

Just purchased a Tudor 76000 Submariner which appears to be in mint looking condition. Is the watch considered to be a chronograph or is it just an automatic? How acurrate should it be if it's just an automatic or if it's a chronograph?

I think, if You are asking about accuracy, You mean to ask whether it is a chronometer. Which is a timepiece tested and certified for accuracy. A chronograph is a timepiece with stopwatch functions and usually subdials for elapsed time recording.

The automatic movements in those Tudor Submariners were made by ETA, and can be very accurate, but weren't certified chronometers.
