My Phasar watch


Recommended Posts

Hello, sorry for the poor image quality but I can not do better .. I found this afternoon this watch in a flea market. It was given to me and changing the battery, I see that it works very well. As the photo shows, it is quartz with a black dial but also analogue-digital-alarm-chronograph and the movement has only this: VA41A And it is a PHASAR. So my question is: what is the model really and who manufactures this brand and what is the composition of the case because I can not find anything except on Ebay that does not have my model .. Thanks In advance .  :)

The movement maker seems to be a Morioka Tokei (maybe a seiko of some sort...)

No, I can't date it... but if I were to take a guess I'd say late 80s, early 90s... maybe?

This movement is also made under the Hattori, Pulsar and Shiojiri names (search for hattori VA41)

example here: http://www.startimesupply.com/product/VA41.html

It takes a 396 battery and can be substituted with a v041 movement, by the same makers.

    • A already know the size movement I have the problem is the dial a had purchased has a dimension 20.6mm wide a want to find a watch case that going to fit the dial perfectly 
    • Hi.  I would like to take issue here regarding battery driven , watches, clocks,etc. I will and do repair these clocks in fact I have sever al in my collection as well as the regular mechanical ones. I have one on my mantle piece over 60 years old tha belonged to my wife’s Aunt,  long gone Iam afraid and it has been cleaned etc and never missed a beat and is accurate. Every one has their preduices as regards Electrical /electronic Horology but I regard it as part of the progress time line of the art of Horology and to be treated as such. Like Darwin’s theory of evolution it evolved.  Two cavemen knocking rocks together and a shard broke off , looking at it he worked out if it was stuck on the end of a stick he would have a spear. Likewise his pal seeing what he was up to picked up a piece  and did the same, now that’s evolution. Some clockmaker decided to build a clock that ran with a battery and no spring to wind up and break, progress and both the mechanical and battery driven clocks evolved, the battery ones got better to the point that if it broke you changed the complete unit. Likewise watches did the same but both can be repaired by people who approach Horology with an open mind without preduice.  We all have our likes and dislikes bu I for one would never dismiss any technology because I don’t like it.   The mobile phone is a good example of modern technology at work as is the automotive industry. There buttons and switches in my car I don’t use because to me they are not nesessary but I still drive the car.
    • I haven't gone through all the reading of what it might be or not. The first thing I would do if nothing obvious stands out is replace the mainspring, you have to start at the source of the power. Nine times out of ten that is the problem.  
    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
