Timex 33 - TIMEX Model 33 Movement Introduction

the
TIMEX
Model
33
Movement
The
Model
33
movement
is
a 13
ligne serf-winding
movement with
day
and
date
features. The
Model
33
utilizes the same basic construction
as
the
Model
31
except
that
a
day
and
date
mechanism has been added. A
plane-
tary
gear
winding
system
located
on the Front
Frame provides a compact
method
of
obtaining
the necessary
gear
reduction between the self-winding
weight
and
the mainspring.
The reserve
power
of
the mainspring when the watch
is
worn
by
a
normally
active person
is
sufficient
to
run the watch
for
a
full
day.
The
day
and
date
mechanism
is
similar
to
that
used
in
the
Model
27.
