Thanks, it is a Seiko Alpinist. More of a reissue than anything else. It uses a 6R15 movement with the addition of a diashock absorber for use in a rugged environment. Smaller than most at 38-39mm. Love the shade of green.

Before that the most were 19 jewels in UT287 I have in one of my projects
Probably on barrel bridge? Ah, you bought it
Yes, judging by the 19j UT287 I have, it's on the other side of the escape wheel. And yes the other 2 are useless - the movement is probably from that time in the 70's when 'more jewels = better'Yoda wrote: ↑March 6th, 2020, 9:55 amMost likely on the dial side, where the escape wheel is. Still, I am puzzled by the layout, it seems meaningless to have cap jewels in one end and not the other. The correct thing would have been cap jewels in both ends and make it a 23 jewel movement. Most movement makers start with adding cap jewels to the pallet arbor assembly and then the escape wheel.djolemag wrote: ↑March 6th, 2020, 9:47 amI see 3 more deck-stones, where is fourth jewel?spade_lt wrote:Unitas 285 with 21 jewels - highest jeweled movement from "6497 family" I've ever seen (at least 2 of the jewels are probably just for decoration, but still...

Kein Problem, ich spreche (mehr oder weniger) fliessend Deutsch
Well, let's count once more... Ut285 is 15 jewels, adding six more makes it 21, right?Yoda wrote:Most likely on the dial side, where the escape wheel is.

How old are they? I ask because I am trying to learn more about hand winding movements than I know which is I really enjoy them.chrislovessushi wrote:Just got these beauties. Time to replace some Asian movements!
