2892.a2 Dus deprazboi?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've attached a picture of a movement that belongs to my Breitling a41360. It is a 2892.a2 with a chronograph module mounted. I believe these modules are made by Dubois depraz but I'm struggling to identify exactly which Dubois depraz module it is and how to obtain parts?

The chronograph module has 20000 8 engraved on the plate. Chrono seconds/minutes at 3/9 and date at 6. 

I need a new fourth wheel (if that's the name of the wheel that carries the second hand on the module) as the pinion has snapped for the centre seconds...

Any help to find out what chronograph module it is and if parts are available would be very very much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

  • clockboy changed the title to 2892.a2 Dus deprazboi?

I'm not sure that you will have an easy time getting parts as I believe it is DD's policy to exchange complete modules rather than supply parts to the trade, let alone private individuals. However, this is just what I have gathered to be their policy over time and I could be well wide of the mark; it will be interesting to see how you get on.

in the mean time have a look here;

Not the same ETA movement or DD module, but it is at least a glimpse into a DD module.

Hi Marc and Mark,

Thank you for the help. I'm awaiting a response from DD. I will check the part availability via the Omega caliber when I'm back at work. Definitely worth a shout.

Great job on the videos too Mark they are a huge help for everyone. A lot of people in the industry in Nottingham often use your videos as a point of reference. Thank you.

Thank you both for offering your help :) I'll email Dubois Depraz and post the response here for everyone's reference if anyone has a similar enquiry in the future.

 

Thanks again,

I have the very same problem. The chrono module has been subjected to water ingress and has damaged at least 8 parts. If you manage to get a chrono module or parts please let me know and thank you for posting.

Thanks JDM. Next time I'll wear my glasses so I can see the date. 🙂

Just wanted to help you get the right expectations about an answer, and let you know that unlike PMs, a member don't get an email when referenced in discussions.

Are we talking about the exact same watch with the exact same chronograph module?

I can't remember the original request are you seeking parts or do you need documentation?

I am seeking parts John or a replacement module. The one in the watch has a lot of corroded parts that are not retrievable. Any help would be most appreciated.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
