Rotary Quartz, what movement is this?


Recommended Posts

Hi, trying to sort this Rotary quartz GB02298/18. Can't see any damage but the coil appears to be dead. Stripped it down a bit in the hope I would find other markings but all I have is Ronda 1 jewel, so looking for some help to source a replacement movement or parts. Does anyone know what movement it is likely to be or where I can find out?

Is this a Ronda 515 ? Sure looks like one...

By the way, if you don't manage to find this exact one (in case it's something other than a 515) ETA/Ronda make modern day equivalents of older movements so you should be able to find that one...

So at least with Ronda they have technical information on the website. Then for identifying the watch it would be nice to have the rest of the watch in the picture and specifications like the diameter. Because different size movements will still look similar. For instance the first two links they both look similar except the second one is the correct battery which is conveniently located on the back of the case. Third link in case it's not one of these two.

Hi guys, with your help I have now managed to identify the movement... it is a Ronda 705. Now I just need to make sure I get the right height. There appears to be 3 different heights that might work, 0.60, 0.75, 0.95 (all very close)! On Cousins they are referring to "Hour Wheel Height Over Dial Seat" Am I right in thinking this is the height of the centre brass section that protrudes from the movement in my picture? If so, what is the best tool for accurately measuring that height?
