the
TIMEX
Model
80
Movement
The
TIMEX
Model
80
is an 8 x
9Y2
ligne movement featuring
"V-~onic"
bearings system and rugged two plate design very similar to the Timex
Mode
l 78 movement. The Model 78 has
two
grooved
and
one smooth
pill
ar
while the
Model
80
has three grooved pillars. The
Model
80
has
five holes in the
dial
plate near the third wheel while the
Mode
l 78 has
only
three holes
in
the
dial
plate near the third wheel.
Whereas many watches utilize bridges, Timex has constructed the
Model
80
movement with full plates to take
advantage
of
the accuracy
inherent in this
type
of
design.
This
accuracy insures complete inter-
changeab
ilit
y
for
the escapement and
gear
train without the need
for
selective
fitting
and
adjustments which complicate the
repair
of
many
wa
t
ches.
To
clean the Timex
Model
80,
it
is
necessary
to
remove only the sweep
second hand,
dia
l stem (on
water
resistant watches)
and
the balance
wheel assembly.
The
illustrations on
Pages 80.3
and
80.4
show
proper
procedures.
Ti
mex has found through long and careful research
that
the
best method
of
cleaning
is
with only the above mentioned parts removed.
The
cleaning fluid, while removing
any
contamination from the move-
ment
will
also remove
oil
from the
gear
train, pivots
and
hol
es.
If
fur
th
er
dismantling
is
required, removal of the movement plate
will
expose th e
gear
train
and
associated parts. Reassembly should start with
the
dial
plate, exercising normal care to insure
proper
p
os
itioning
of
pivots
in
their respective hol
es.
