the

TIMEX

Model

25

Movement

The

Timex

Model

25

is

on

11

1

/4

'"

x 9

1;4

"'

calendar

movement

utilizing

the

basic

construction

of

the

Model

24

. Like

the

Model

24

it

features

a

"V-Conic"

Bearing system

and

rugged

two

plate

design.

The

entire

Calendar

mechanism

is

efficiently

housed

between

the

dial

plate

and

dial.

Whereas

most

watches

utilize

bridges, TIMEX

has

constructed

the

Model

25

movement

with full

plates

to

toke

advantage

of

the

accuracy

inherent

in this

type

of design.

This

accuracy

insures

complete

interchangeability

for

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

25

it

is

necessary

to remove only

the

sweep

second

hand,

dial,

dote

ring,

dote

wheel

assembly,

ratchet

wheel,

and

balance

.

The

illustrations

on

pages

25.3

through

25.5

show

proper

procedures

. TIMEX

has

found

through

long

and

careful

research

that

the

best

method

of

cleaning

is

with only

the

above

mentioned

ports

removed.

The

cleaning

fluid, while

remov-

ing

any

contamination

from

the

movement

will also remove oil from

the

gear

•rain, pivots

and

holes.

If

further

dismantling

is

required,

removal

of

the

movement

plate

will

expose

the

gear

train

and

associated

ports

.

Re-assembly

should

start

with

the

dial

plate,

exercising normal

core

to

insure

proper

positioning

of

pivots in

their

respective

holes.

Removal of

assem-

a)

Remove

b)

Rotate

should

be

applied

with

Cleaning

the

Model

25

Movement

After

removal

of

the

balance

wheel,

and

the

other

ports

mentioned

on

Pages

25.3

through

25.5,

the

movement

is

ready

to

be

cleaned.

If

a

cleaning

machine

is used,

place

the

movement

in

the

basket

with

the

dial

plate

down

to

insure

proper

drainage

of

the

fluid

from

the

mainspring

barrel.

It

should

be

well swirled

in

the

cleaning

fluid

after

which two

sets

of rinsing

fluid

should

be

used.

The

final

cleaning

fluid

must

be

absolutely

clean.

After

cleaning,

the

movement

should

be

thoroughly

dried.

If

a

cleaning

machine

is

not

available,

the

some

procedure

should

be

followed

manually,

by

re-inserting

the

stem

into

the

movement,

grasping

the

movement

firmly

around

the

stem

and

shaking

it

in

the

cleaning

and

rinsing fluids

to

insure

that

the

fluid will

pass

through

the

entire

mechanism.

The

balance

assembly

should

be

cleaned

separately

in a

small

jar

to

prevent

damage

to

the

hairspring.

Only

standard

watch

cleaning

solutions

should

be

used

throughout.

Lubricating

the

Model

25

Movement

The

movement

should

be

re-oiled

in

the

normal

manner

using

only

high

grade

watch

oils (oil

used

in

factory

assembly

is

Elgin

M56b).

The

mainspring

is

permanently

lubricated

with a solid

coating

which

is

not

affected

by

normal

cleaning

solutions

and

should,

therefore,

not

be

oiled.

The

upper

pivot

of

the

escape

wheel

con

be

oiled

through

the

holes in

the

-minute

wheel.

The

"V-conic"

bearings

should

be

oiled

V2

to

%

full

before

replacing

the

balance

wheel.

Oil

both

the

top

and

bottom

sides

of

the

intermediate

wind pinion

and

wind

and

set

pinions.

Oi

the

intersection

of

A

slot

has

been

provided

at

the

bose

of

the

center

post

to

facilitate

oiling

the

fourth

pinion

upper

pivot.

If

the

friction

pinion

has

been

removed

from

the

cannon

pinion

and

cleaned,

oil

the

friction pinion

before

re-assembly

into

the

cannon

pinion

.

The

impulse pin

should

be

oiled

at

its

working

surface.

Rubber

gaskets

used

on crowns,

such

as

the

type

used

on

waterproof

and

dust-

proof

models,

should

be

lubricated

with silicone

grease

or

making

sure

that

the

straight

and

true,

as

any

ta

the

pin could

interfere

with

caution

to

apply

only

minimum

downward

as

excessive

pressure

could

Inspect

the

hairspring

to

be

certain

that

it

is

properly

adjusted.

As

shown

by

the

the

hairspring

should

be

in
