Centre seconds, time adjust by key, as you can see from the photos there isn’t a stem hole. Only a chamfered gear for winding. 
I’m looking for a case for this type of movement and was wondering if there was a particular name for this winding set up/ case for this movement?

cheers guys

Key wind / Key set I often see abbreviated as KW/KS.

Curious, this movement is set up differently from the American ones I'm familiar with. What does the key look like for setting the time? And you mentioned center seconds, how does that work?

Key looks like any other pocket watch winding key, if you look between the Hawley and son engraving on the plate you’ll see the square for time adjustment .

as for centre seconds, it works the same as a wristwatch train does.

I've seen this before unfortunately it's a problem. As you can see there is no stem and no key winding or setting. I don't think I've ever seen the case so the case itself would have to have a gear to mesh with the Gear on the side of the movement. Then the setting is pin set. If you look at your picture a little farther down you'll see a steel  part that can be pushed in and when that pushes in the movements in setting. The case itself would have a protruding pin that you push in to go into the setting mode.

Cheers mate, happy with the explanation. It’s got a key set for time, and happy with the slider on the side to activate the centre seconds and the pin set next to it. 
just need to see a case so I can see what I need to look for

      Calendar work certina 25-651

      By tonydagee · Posted

      Hello all, just disassembling to service, but I can’t figure out the working of the calendar work…it’s not operational the jumper and spring are ok, but the operation of the driving wheel has me at a loss. I can’t see a cam to drive anything. Is something damaged or missing? Help please!

      Unusual Seiko dial damage

      Believe the relume (not a fan) was done a long time after the damage.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      I have a little milling attachment for my WW lathe, but very rarely use it and not for wheel and pinion cutting. For that I use a small Sixis 101 milling machine. I normally do direct dividing, but sometimes have to do an odd count and use the universal index which also fits on the Sixis.   Back in the day when I didn't have a mill, I would cut gearing on my Schaublin 102. It has a universal dividing attachment which fits the back of the spindle. Both it and the one for the Sixis are 60:1 ratio, and with the set of 4  index plates I can do almost any division. When I've had to do a strange high count prime number, I print a disc with the needed division and just place the plunger on the dot. Any position error is reduced by a factor of 60 so still plenty accurate.   The machines are a mess in the pics as I'm in the process of making a batch of barrels for a wristwatch 🙃.   This is the Sixis. The head can also be placed vertically, as can the dividing spindle.   Dividing plates. The smaller ones fit another dividing spindle.   Universal divider for the Sixis. I put it together with parts from an odd Sixis spindle that takes w20 collets, like the Schaublin 102, and a dividing attachment from a Schaublin mill.     The dividing attachment for the 102. The gear fits in place of the handwheel at the back of the headstock.   And the little milling attachment for the WW lathe. I just set it on the slide rest to illustrate the size, you can see from the dust on it it really doesn't get used much. I think only when I change bearing in the head, to kiss the collet head seat (grinding wheel still in the milling attachment).

      Opinions on Seiko's 4R and 6R movement quality from those more able to judge

      By SidKop · Posted

      I read a lot about the quality (or lack thereof) of Seiko's 4R, 6R, 8L  movements...or more specifically the lack of regulation from the factory. Especially when compared to similar priced manufactures using SW200's or ETA's. I thought I'd ask those more in the know, do the 4R's and 6R's deserve their bad reputation, is it fairly easy for someone with minimal skills (or better yet a trained watch mechanic) to dial in these movements to a more acceptable performance.    For background I spent more on a 1861 Speedy years ago, expecting that the advertised 0-15s/d  would probably perform more like 5-7s/d. In reality it's been closed to 2-4s/d.
