A question for the watch makers and a lesson for me

Post by Tanukjaju »

A while back, I bought a non working vintage dive watch (keyless issues) with this movement ... no sure what brand it is .... I don’t recognize the logo

So here is the wonky thing...

Position 1 on the stem is winding like you would expect any movement to be.....

Position 2....which I didn’t know existed for a while is time change.... it’s a little tricky to get to from position 1.

Position 3 is date change.

For the longest time I was going from position 1 to 3 and 3 to 1.... wondering how the heck to change the time. Then I figured out the position 2 was there... and viola.

What brand movement is this?

Fontainemelon caliber 90-5

If it is finicky to find the second position, then it may have a setting spring issue. Sorry, I forgot the name of that part right now.

Somewhere I have pictures of logos of most watch manufacturers. I will post when I find them.
