An interesting phase in watchmaking, but a dead end nevertheless. Battery life will also be under one year, as power consumption isn’t that low, so a tuning fork watch (made at the same time) is far more desirable all around. Every time you turn the watch, the balance goes haywire, as the large weight kicks in.įor something with a transistor in it, that is a bit disappointing, so as soon as quartz movements hit the market, these movements where dead in the water. So, it wasn’t quite obsolete as soon as it appeared! These electric watches are weird and wonderful things They have one huge disadvantage, and that’s the weight of the balance (as it has to contain magnets), so they aren’t the most accurate watches around. All in One A Complete Book In Itself Foundation of Information Technology CBSE Class 10th Term-I Expert Compilations Rs.1,992 Rs.2,054. With the early quartz movements being introduced to the mainstream in the 1973 time frame, that’s almost a decade of iterations of this movement being used across a WIDE range of manufacturers during that period. I will say that these ESA electronic balance wheel movements actually did have a decent window of time when they were relevant, with these 13 jewel versions being introduced in 1967 (and produced through 1970), while a later version with 7 jewels (ESA 9157 – 9159) was produced at least through the mid-70s. Could this be to act as a reminder of the month that the battery was replaced? Hey Mitka, Really nice job! Electric and Electronic watches are a bit of a niche specialty of mine (although I’ve not sent any to you for service yet), so it was good to see a Dynotron movement being worked on here.
They had a period of popularity in the ’70s, I think I have seen them in mid price watches such as Avia.I notice the battery hatch on the Alpina has 12 graduations and an arrow. So refreshing to find quality and integrity, These movements were not much more accurate than a good automatic model, the only advantage was that you could leave them in a drawer for days or weeks and they would still be telling the right time. I have been watching your exploits for a while and I am most impressed with your work. Hello Mitka and Christian, you have a new fan.

The original sales label still attached.Case back has the characteristic lid for changing the batteries.I eventually figure out how to open the case back, revealing the movement. I bought this watch expecting a parts watch, closer inspection it’s actually a new old stock watch and I think I can bring it back to its former glory. Even if its not on the list, we might still.

In general, the previous patent waterproof cased manual watches became the newly designed. Esa 9154 Service Manual In 1966 Roamer revamped its range into, Anfibios, Stringrays, and Mustangs. The sequence of photos below show the movement and watch being re-assembled after a service etc: The ESA 9156 looks like the very common 9154 from the balance side.
