Unknown swiss movement

Recommended Posts

It's an Adolf Shild (AS) movement, possibly any one of 1816, 1906, 1916, 2066, 2076, 2166, 2176 depending on beat rate  and other complications.

If you look under the balance wheel you will see the AS mark and the caliber number.

Hello Marc

Than you. Yes it is. I checked under the balance wheel. AS 2066 or 2068. My problem, the whole movement an dial is moving around in the case. A spacer ring is installed, but it does not work.

How can I remove the winding stem of the watch?

Hi there, worked on a few of the movements in this family - they're often used in those 1970's jump hour watches (Damas, Direct Time, etc.)

 

Pull the stem all the way out to the time setting position and then gently push down on the button (just below the stem in picture 3). There should be a centre divot where the tip of some fine tweezers will go - although I can't see one in the picture. You should then be able to withdraw the winding stem.

Regards, Jonathan

This one doesn't appear to have one. Then not all watches want to be in setting when you remove the stem some do some don't if you do it wrong the clutch wheel sometimes will twist themselves and then you have to disassemble the watch.

I've also attached the parts list in case you need it

Yes, I couldn't tell whether there was or wasn't a divot / dimple. Thought it might be the photo lighting. I did check an Imado 2066 day/date which I've just got my hands on - and that did have - hence my comment (image below).

Fair point re. Stem position. I'd assumed that disassembly was the plan...was getting ahead of myself!

Regards, Jonathan

thank you again...

it worked... the movement was "moving" or loose in the watch case. I checked the space ring. Now fits better.

I couldnt figure out how to change the day. It seems i have only 3 position on the tem. 0 = winding, 1= date, 2 = minute

Usually if there is no rapid setting for the day you have to run the hands around until you get day set. Then you set the date and then time or you can set the time first in the data doesn't really matter.  the reason you usually don't have a rapid day setting is because usually don't have to run the hands around that much it's not like it says the first any need the 20th that's a lot of turning the hands which is why it that usually has a rapid feature and if it doesn't it's a pain in the ass to run the hands around.

The crown has 3 positions.

position 1 for winding, position 2 for calendar, and position 3 for time setting.

To change the day put the crown into position 2 and turn anti-clockwise, turning clockwise changes the date.

I tried turning anti-clockwise but didnt work.... 

may be I broke something? All others functions are working...

I will try... i can't imagine this i how it should work. Or I should wait a week to set the time correct? hehe

It sounds like there may be something amiss in the keyless or calendar works. I have just checked with a 2066 in my collection and that is definitely how it should work.

An investigation may be in order 🙂

I checked my watch again and you are right. I need to move the minute hands to change the day...

thank you for checking. In my case works only by rotate the minute and houer hands... May be they have some different versions and functions.

Thank you again for your helps

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 
    • Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble. 
    • ha ha looks like a WMD.....you know I want one now  
    • I took a chance on a non running Cosmotron X8 ("perhaps just needs a new battery" said the advert). Sure enough, I open it up and it has the wrong battery installed (a Renata 344 rather than the correct Renata 386) and the screws holding the battery contact had been sheared off to half a head on both ends. Ho ho, I thought - there's the problem. I got the broken screws out easily enough and as soon as I placed the correct battery in place the balance started. This picked up speed when I reinstalled one side of the battery contact and looked like it was a runner. As I was trying to get the replacement screws in, I did one side but the second was a bit of struggle (hold down the battery contact against its spring while dropping the screw in with tweezers) the balance stopped again. This time it wouldn't start again. 98 percent sure that I didn't stick anything, anywhere important or break it in a mechanical way. The battery was in place for most of the struggling with the contact, so it might have had an intermittent connection which could have upset the electronics. I tried giving it a puff with the blower but the balance doesn't seem to rotate in the normal way, it seems to be held in a static position by magnet. It can be pulled out of this position but spins back and stops dead. This may well be correct for all I know. Anyway, does anyone know anything about these watches and can tell me how I would go about and fault find this? I will be servicing it at some point so should be able to rule out mechanical issues from an old watch but not sure where to start with the electrical part of it.
    • Sorry to reopen a necro-thread (long dormant) - I have a Seiko Kinetic 5M42A that needs at least one coil, possibly both. Anyone know of any sources?  The usual fallback of eBay has failed me - there are people selling coils, but not the ones for this movement (which was apparently a very popular movement, used in Seiko and Pulsa branded watches.) The coil numbers are: 4002 516,  and 4002 519 I'd also love to find a source for spares of the screws used all over this movement - they're Seiko PN 0022 247 Thanks! (Moderator - if this should be a new thread, please do feel free to tell me, or drag this one into a new thread.) Don Eilenberger
