ETA 2892 A2

Hello everyone,

I just got an ETA 2892 A2 automatic watch in for service and I have yet to work on one of these movements. I know its a co-axial escapment so is there anything I need to know about servicing this watch? Any special tools and is the co-axial escapment difficult to install? I know mark has made a video on this movement that i havent fully watched, but just wanted to know if this movement is easy to work on or if i should pass on servicing this due to it being a headache.

 

Thanks everyone

I have to say, I didn't think there was anything special about the movement, apart  from the awful an to winding mechanism. 

The watch was pritty straight forward,  not cheap now a days either, and the price will only go up now that ETA have decided  to stop suppling them in the next few years.

It's made I know, I put one in a fake rolex, the case and the bracelet were so well made , that I couldn't  help myself.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds. 
    • Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!
    • Happy to have helped, great way to start the day with a win! 🥳
    • Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor. 
    • I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂
