2892.a2 Dus deprazboi?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've attached a picture of a movement that belongs to my Breitling a41360. It is a 2892.a2 with a chronograph module mounted. I believe these modules are made by Dubois depraz but I'm struggling to identify exactly which Dubois depraz module it is and how to obtain parts?

The chronograph module has 20000 8 engraved on the plate. Chrono seconds/minutes at 3/9 and date at 6. 

I need a new fourth wheel (if that's the name of the wheel that carries the second hand on the module) as the pinion has snapped for the centre seconds...

Any help to find out what chronograph module it is and if parts are available would be very very much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure that you will have an easy time getting parts as I believe it is DD's policy to exchange complete modules rather than supply parts to the trade, let alone private individuals. However, this is just what I have gathered to be their policy over time and I could be well wide of the mark; it will be interesting to see how you get on.

in the mean time have a look here;

Not the same ETA movement or DD module, but it is at least a glimpse into a DD module.

Hi Marc and Mark,

Thank you for the help. I'm awaiting a response from DD. I will check the part availability via the Omega caliber when I'm back at work. Definitely worth a shout.

Great job on the videos too Mark they are a huge help for everyone. A lot of people in the industry in Nottingham often use your videos as a point of reference. Thank you.

Thank you both for offering your help :) I'll email Dubois Depraz and post the response here for everyone's reference if anyone has a similar enquiry in the future.

 

Thanks again,

I have the very same problem. The chrono module has been subjected to water ingress and has damaged at least 8 parts. If you manage to get a chrono module or parts please let me know and thank you for posting.

Thanks JDM. Next time I'll wear my glasses so I can see the date. 🙂

Just wanted to help you get the right expectations about an answer, and let you know that unlike PMs, a member don't get an email when referenced in discussions.

Are we talking about the exact same watch with the exact same chronograph module?

I can't remember the original request are you seeking parts or do you need documentation?

I am seeking parts John or a replacement module. The one in the watch has a lot of corroded parts that are not retrievable. Any help would be most appreciated.

    • Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I think between us we’ve worked out what’s going on. Next job is to have a proper look at this great wheel assembly, see if I can remove the clip and the friction fit pinion, give the bits a good clean, then put it back together with a bit of blue grease. I’ll also get the pallet fork under the microscope to see if it’s ok or been damaged. 
    • The cannon pinion (be it conventional style or what you see in this movement) should slip on its arbour so the hands can be set independently without affecting the gear train.  If there is too much friction between the cannon pinion and the second wheel, turning the hands to set them backwards can sometimes force the escape wheel teeth to overrun the pallet stones, creating the behaviour you describe. The train is running in reverse when this happens.  This can often chip the pallet stones. I’d say at least half of the watches I’ve inspected with very tight cannon pinions had chipped pallet stones. Hopefully this isn’t the case with your watch.  I’m not familiar with this movement but you need to get the friction in the cannon pinion adjusted correctly.  Hope this helps, Mark
    • Pallet fork was in. I’d had the movement running ok, and only removed the balance to flip it over and install the keyless works and date mechanism. The pallet fork wasn’t locking the gear train when hand setting - it was oscillating as the escape wheel rotated. This may have been in one direction only - can’t remember.
