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

    • I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong. 
    • Ah ok yes that makes sense to polish it where the arm starts to form from the body of the bridge, i thought you meant the underneath of all the arm.
    • this is something I've never quite understood about the some of the Swiss companies. In 1957 Omega was using 9010 for the keyless parts with epilam. there's been a slow migration towards using heavier lubrication's but still typically oils and epilam to keep them in place. When it seems like 9504 works so much better.  
    • OK, welcome in the world of alarm clocks... I guess the 4th wheel is dished because it is from another movement. If it was not dishet, then it would not mesh with the pinion of the escape wheel, am I right? The marks of wear on the 4th wheel pinion doesn't corespond to the 3th wheel table position, at list this is what i see on the picts. Calculating the rate is easy - there is a formula - BR = T2 x T3 x T4 x T5 x 2 /(P3 x P4 x P5) where T2 - T5 are the counts of the teeth of the wheels tables, and P3 - P5 are the counts of the pinion leaves. Vibrating the balance is easy - grasp for the hairspring where it should stay in the regulator with tweasers, let the balance hang on the hairspring while the downside staff tip rests on glass surface. Then make the balance oscillate and use timer to measure the time for let say 50 oscillations, or count the oscillations for let say 30 seconds. You must do the free oscillations test to check the balance staff tips and the cone cup bearings for wear. This kind of staffs wear and need resharpening to restore the normal function of the balance.
    • Glue a nut to the barrel lid, insert a bolt, pull, disolve the glue.  Maybe someone will have a better answer.
