Omega 1315 Or Really Is A Tissot Adjustment Trouble

Recommended Posts

Have a Tissot ???? but the movement is the same as the Omega 1315 movement . Have serviced it but now the electronic motor module won't work . I can see that it's moving.

I read something about adjusting the module by turning an excenter screw . Until the third wheel and forth wheel spins freely. Anyone been working on som of this movement? The omega 1310 or 1315. Tissot i think it could be 2442.

Confusing numbering that doesn't exactly explain what the differences are. So that the Tissot 2100 is equal to the Omega 1315 and 1315 is only slightly different from the 1310. I've attached a PDF that shows what the differences are unfortunately it does not explain why it's different only that it is.

 

So the confusion you're having is there are two separate adjustments. Then the manual itself is somewhat confusing to read unless you've done one of these before. So I've attached images of both adjustments. So in figure 3.3 it shows adjusting an offset cam that changes the depth of the motor assembly with the gear train. In the text 3.36 they talk about this. So if this is not adjusted correctly the entire gear train will stop. Then starting at 3.40 this is where you're supposed to have the microscope for this adjustment.

That part is missing on my movement?The click spring. I will have to get a new one from cousinsuk .Lucky as i have a 1310 movement to compare with . 

I will order that and see what i can do? Discovered that the click retaining plate didn't sit right either . It's jamming up the wheels . Learning more and more as i get along.

That's a beauty of a movement...I never though I could say that of an electronic one being partial to mechanical/autos! Keep us up to date, I'd love to hear more of your progress and end result!

 

Cheers,

Have to buy some new parts. But that would not be before Christmas . But will sure try to get it up to speed again. Now that i now how it works. I am not sure i should buy the click or the click with the retaining plate already attach? Depends how difficult it is to put the click in place?

One of the things I really like about this group is your open to things. For instance quartz watches can be quite fascinating and very interesting to collect. But the entire world doesn’t necessarily understand that. For instance I collect electric watches including quartz watches. If I’m at a meeting of watch and clock collectors and asked what I collect a lot of times I skip over the issue. Other times I tell them I collect quartz watches just because I like to see the expression on their face as they run away.

So there seems to be a perception that electric is bad especially quartz and mechanical is always beautiful. Except we have some very horribly made mechanical watches were not meant to be serviced. Timex watches pin lever watches zero jewel watches etc. so not all mechanical is beautiful. The early days of electric especially when they get into quartz a lot of very fascinating interesting ways to solve problems. Makes for a lot of just really interesting watches that can be quite beautiful.

Then there is an advantage to collecting evil quartz watches. For instance the watch in the photograph the price tag indicates $20 it didn’t sell in this particular show the seller gave it to me because he knew I collect electric watches. A sizable percentage of my electric watch collection was given for free. Unfortunately to get some of the good stuff you do end up with a lot of crappy quartz watches but I didn’t have to pay for them.

So for missing parts you’re missing one and the other is not missing it’s hiding possibly. So there supposed to be a magnetic shield it goes over the coil. On your Omega watch part of it is still there and the Tissot it’s totally gone. I’ve attached the image usually the little plastic pins break off I only have one there should be two. In the case of mine if you turn the watch over it just falls out which is why they’re missing.

So the offset cam adjustment is hiding more than likely not missing. Notice the nice big screw and in the image I circled in red? Then nice close-up photograph of what's under the screw  is what you should find which is the cam adjustment hiding not missing hopefully. Then special tool  probably doesn't exist anymore so you can use a screwdriver that  you grind out the center to clear the tube that the screw threads into. Make sure you read the instructions  in the manual carefully you'll have to loosen the other screws so the entire motor assembly can move. The cam is made out of plastic  it does not like to be forced..

The motor was running okay but there was some trouble with the circuit. Ended up as parts.  One problem i had with my Omega was the battery. Can't remember the brand i used . But changed the battery and it worked again. So try an other brand battery maybe.

    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
