This will remain on hold until the new batteries arrive. If the case and movement did come together, it looks to be from 1970 (N0), with a 218 movement. Just bought this one for under 100 off the Bay. spacetimefabric Discussion starter Jun 30, 2012. 4381 Views 17 Replies 9 Participants Last post by joeuk, Jump to Latest. This amperage is what I cannot test without a proper battery tester. Newly acquired: 1970 Bulova Accutron tuning fork watch. "CR or BR represents lithium while L, LR or AG is for alkaline and SR or SG for silver oxide."īut what IS clear is that the Lithium cells have a longer life (higher mAh) than either alkaline or silver oxide. All photos exclusively for HODINKEE by Tiffany Wade. Spaceview DNA, grey/blue, grey/black, grey/gold-tone, and grey/silver tone models all 3,300. However, the "CR" is standard nomenclature for a lithium cell: Spaceview 2020, 3,450 Spaceview 2020 Limited Edition, 4,000. Omega was unique in coupling the ESA 9164 to a chronograph module to make the only. Omega, Titus, Tissot and Longines used these movements in some of their watches in the late 60s, early 70s. Omega (ESA) made watches with tuning fork movements utilizing some Bulova patent (s), the ESA 9162 and ESA 9164. Maybe not, but I just ordered two more Renata CR2030 cells clearly marked "Lithium" on their top, like the old one. Bulova was the first tuning fork movement. Maybe this is the reason? The Omega literature does not specify the battery beyond the "CR2320" number. Notice the old battery is marked "lithium". (old battery on the left pack of three new ones, one of which is in the watch) The backlight did work when I first received this watch, about a year ago. My understanding is the voltage is checked on the movement while in the different modes to verify sufficient voltage to operate.īacklight also does not work but this is not surprising while in power save mode. (outside the US is 36.00) Please note that tuning fork Accutrons were made until. Please note that prices above are flat rate (includes parts AND labor) Shipping and insurance is an additional 10.00. I am familiar with the voltage tests in the chart. Repairs on Swiss made Tuning Fork Watches (Omega F300, Longines Ultronic, Eterna-sonic, Movado-Zenith, IWC, Titus, Allegro) starting at 350.00. The titanium case back screws are prone to galling and breakage- why I used anti-seize compound on them- and I don't want to open it unnecessarily. I'll measure battery voltage of the other two that were on the same card as the one I installed (I can also check the old battery that behaved the same as the new one does).
