ETA Quartz tech sheets


Recommended Posts

huge thanks clockboy, i have one that seems to of sprung into life after a tad of quartz oil and a coil check and voltage check done, they do not tick like a normal quartz, this seems to tick every 20 SECS, so interested to see the specs etc. rogart63 has sent me a couple of replacements just in case i need them, so thanks to that fine gentleman for his help.

Hi It seems like the swatch group who own eta and several other brands have now closed the portal through which we mere mortals were able to access the tech sheets and are now only available to customers purchasing their products, probably in great numbers.

They have the most of the tech shhets still online, but some of them which have been obselete for quite a time is taken away.

Up in the left corner you just choose if you want the quartz or the mechanical tech sheets.

The 579.002 is one of those movements that is no longer supported and it was replaced with the ETA 902.002.

    • I've remembered something I had forgotten.  I've come across Dennison before but forgot all about it as I'm never going to use the units.  Maybe we should start a  thread on obscure units of measurement. 
    • Learned a new thing today! 🤓 Looked this up and found this informative document: Watkins-MainspringGauges.pdf
    • Correct one dip is expensive when the chemical is purchased as " one dip " which is why it is mostly reserved for these two small parts as far as information tells us it is mostly tetrachloroethylene. I use it bought as perchloroethyl used in dry cleaning processes, i cant say I'm overimpressed with it though it appears to me to be shellac safe. What may be a better solution for hairsprings is a high lab grade of pure benzine.  IPA is mostly used as a rinse and water displacer and yes it does have the potential to dissolve shellac, personally i would not buy anything that has significant water dilution so 99.9% IPA is the way to go. And lastly the part you are cleaning dictates your choice of cleaning brush, delicate parts like a hairspring requires the finest artist's brush you can find. Plates and bridges can take a little more scrubbing, but always check to make sure the surface is being unharmed. And dont forget a stick of tip benzine soaked correctly shaped pegwood is your mate set up for cleaning dirty jewels and removing stubborn dried up lubrication. 
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 
    • Den / Dennison is a unit measurement of size this is actually a mainspring gauge . I haven't heard of a pivot been measured in Dennison before.  Though the small thickness gauge is  usually supplied with a Jacot tool and is more accurately known as a pivot destroyer.
