AVIA Marino crystal needed


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I need a special lipped crystal for this watch. It is 31.6 mm in dia not including the lipped part which the bezel has to clip over, that part is roughly 32.5 but most of it is missing so that is a guesstimate. As you can see from my crude drawing it is 2mm deep from under the lip. I am about to start searching the cousins crystals but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would say that Cousins has these... But I don't know what they're called.

Stepped crystals ?

i think i may have found it, xac316560 in the doc section g22 page 35 in cousins. the measurements match although it is hard to see if it is a stepped crystal, but they give a measurment upto what i assume is a lip so ive orderd one fingers crossed.

I’ve my fathers avia Marino divers watch which he used while a diver in his younger days , I’ve recently lost my father and wanted to get this restored as it’s all I have left of him and have fond memories of it as a child. 

For a complete restoration, including the all-important movement servicing, gasket replacement, case refinishing, etc. you will need to give or send the watch to a good professional, you can start searching online.

Hello everybody,

first of all let me thank you for your indirect support in finding the glass on cousin by reading your post.

i own an avia marino chrono but unfortunately neither the glass nor the bezel are their original one. While i've already bought the glass on cousin, i'm facing trouble in finding his original bezel or a bezel which can be adapted to.

Already asked to cousin with no luck. Hope someone could help me.

Many thanks in advance

Leo from Italy

    • You often see the term used on old watch part boxes.  Staffs for bracelet watches, timing washers for bracelet wstches etc.
    • The Boro has changed quite a lot over the last 20 years, and not for the better. I actually moved out of the town 15 years ago to a small village not far away. Thanks for the pdf! Looks a great read. I'll get it printed today and put it on my work bench!
    • Not having all the fancy equipment, this is a way I came up with. I never said it was the best, the most ideal or the safest way. Working on balances is always a delicate task whereby full concentration & common sense should prevail. I was well aware of the "dangers" / short comings involved, hence my "warnings", as quoted above. The balance wheel of the Omega was nice true, flat and one could clearly see how much gap there was left before the grinding wheel would touch the balance wheel. I stopped when the generously applied diamond paste started to touch the rim of the balance wheel, which turned out to be with a seat thickness left of 0.1mm. Tapping the remainder of the staff out went easy and flawless. My idea of penning this article was to show/share a way which, in my case, perfectly succeeded. If deemed to risky, or if the balance wheel is not true or has a wobble, other methods have to be followed.
    • I loved his explanation of a teardown 😅 Ex military Richard Perrett, pretty knowledgeable guy.
    • I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank
