Movement 798.002


Recommended Posts

Anybody in the group know I can download a tech sheet on this movement?  In the process of disassembling this movement.......it runs but it’s losing time.............. l am learning by  taking apart cleaning and oiling and putting back tOgether certain movements.......

Hi with the takeover of the ebauches , and various other swiss watch companies By the SWATCH group the information on ETA watches is now getting harder to obtain unless you are a purchaser of their products.  The ETA tech data Base is now enclosed within that realm. Trade Only

The 978.001 is practicaly the same as the 978.002 and is an obselete movement.
I dont have the tech sheet for this but as it came in many shapes one could use a third party manual like this.

Certina 133 is the same movement to

Or why not just replace it with this one.

The only downside is the dial is not always compatible with the Ronda movement.

Took a look at this mystery, it seems no tech sheets are availible for this one so the close match and recommended replacement seemed to be the 976.001, but there are quite obvious differences in these two movements so they are not 100% the same but really close. Found some specimens in the bin to show the differences.

As expected the 978.002 only shovs the mechanical outlines at ETA.

But for the 976.001 they have the whole techsheet shaboom.

So you probably have to go with the 976-001 for this one.

I found a ETA movement out of  Canada that sells the 978.001 movement for 78$... Thanks for the advice

    • 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.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
    • C07641+ not sure what the "+" is for after the last digit.
