555.415 interchangeable?


Recommended Posts

I have a Tissot with a ETA 555.415 movement, that is water damaged.

I have decided to replace the movement, as the ETA movement is pretty low cost.

But the 555.415 is not as easy to find, as some other ETA movements.

So my question is, is there other ETA models that are directly interchangeable with the 555.415??

The correct replacement for this is not 255.112.  This is the wrong diameter and thickness.

555.415 = 955.412, 955.412 is the same movement essentially just a few updates over many years.

 

decisions, decisions....

My bad. Didn't do my research properly there.

Hope i am right this time. Three first are for day at 6 a clock. if you have the date window at 6. Last two is different heights. On the H1 the hour wheel is 1,06 and H3 hour wheel 1,55.  There is also a H0 https://boley.de/en/caliber/watchmovements/eta/4001.955-412

Follow these steps...

Does it have a second hand...  Yes = 3 H = 3 Hands, No = 2H = 2 Hands

Where is the date...   At 3 O'clock = 3D, at 6 O'clock = 6D

Remove the old hour wheel and measure the height with a vernier gauge, if it is between 1.02 and 1.10 then it is normal Height.  Otherwise you will need a high or low version.

75% of the time you will have the most popular version which it 955.412, 3H, 3D  (Normal height, not HT0 or HT3)

So that is 955.412, 3 Hands with the Date at 3.  Suppliers all round the world will stock this version. 

 

Simples :-)

The movement i am replacing is has a H1 hour wheel, so that is sorted.

I must be slow... because the difference of D3 or D6 movement is obviously what direction the numbers on the date ring has. :hocky:

Thx.

Hey There @Emancipator. No you're not slow...it takes a little time to figure such things out. Check out @rogart63 explanation of the movement codes.

    • 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.
