Thanks for the correction! From what I was reading, olive oil goes rancid (and acidic; but mineral oil does not).

Olive oil, like any unsaturated oil, may go rancid on exposure to air. But in a sealed watch there will not be enough air.

("Organic", outside of agriculture, means "composed of carbon compounds". In practice, that usually means compounded by something alive, because life has been at the carbon for a long, long time.)
