featuring
"V

design.
Whereas
most
watches
utilize
bridges,
Timex
has
constructed
the
Model
23
movement
with
full
plates
to
take
advantage
of
the
accuracy
inherent
in
this
type
of
design.
This
accuracy
i
nsures
complete
interchangeability
far
the
escape-
ment
and
gear
train
without
the
need
for selective
fitting
and
adjustments
which
complicate
the
repair
of
most
watches.
To
clean
the
Timex
Model
23,
it is
necessary
to
remove only
the
mi
nute
hand,
dial
and
balance.

Timex
has
found
,
through
long
and
careful
research,
that
the
best
method
of
cleaning
is with
only
the
above-mentioned
parts
removed
.
The
clean-
ing
fluid, while
removing
any
contamination
from
the
movement,
will
also
re-
move
oil
from
the
gear
train
,
pivots
and
holes.
If
further
di
smantling
is r
equired,
removal
of
the
movement
plate
will
expose
the
gear
train
and
associated
parts
.
Reassembly
should
start
with
the
movement
plate,
exercising
normal
care
to
insure
proper
positioning of pivots in
their
respective
holes.
