Let x\geqslant 3, for 1\leqslant n \leqslant x an integer, let ω(n) be its number of distinct prime factors. We show that, among the values n\leqslant x with ω(n)=k where 1\leqslant k ≪ log2 x, ω(n-1) satisfies an Erdős-Kac type theorem around 2log2 x, so in large deviation regime, when weighted by 2ω(n-1). This sharpens a result of Gorodetsky and Grimmelt with a quantitative and quasi-optimal error term. The proof of the main theorem is based on the characteristic function method and uses recent progress on Titchmarsh's divisor problem.
