occasiomd

repairs

and

adjustments.

As

a

matter

of

fact,

you

will

probably

be

called

upon

to

repair

and

adjust

more

Timex

watches

during

the

course

of

a

day

than

any

other

brand.

After

ah,

more

people

buy

Timex

than

any

other

watch

in

the

world.

In

the

United

States,

alone,

one

out

of

every

three

watches

sold

is

a

Timex.

Understandably,

Timex

owners

will

turn

to

you.

The

SERVICING

A

TIMEX

MODELS

22, 29,

23

Already

many

million

Timex

watches

are

in

service

through

out

the

world

and

each

year

this

quantity

is

rapidly

increasing.

With

so

many

in

circulation,

a

large

proportion

of

repairs

taken

into

jewelers

will

consist

of

Timex

watches.

An

effective

and

efficient

repair

service

is

essential,

based

on

techniques

formu

lated

after

many

years

of

factory

servicing.

Even

with

the

most

rugged

of

.watches,

as

with

all

mechan

ical

devices,

sometime

it

will

require

a

servicing

operation

to

cover

for

mishandling,

damage,

oiling

or

wear,

etc.

To

present

the

Timex

servicing

procedure

in

as

few

words

as

possible

for

persons

who

are

already

skilled

in

watch

repair,

we

have

prepared

a

series

of

illustrative

drawings

showing

those

areas

in

which

you

may

need

guidance.

Cases

The

Timex

waterproof,

self

wind

and

non-waterproof

range

of

watches

all

feature

conventional

designs

of

watch

case

with

which

all

jewelers

are

familiar.

As

these

styles

change

each

year

to

meet

changing

tastes

of

customers,

detailed

methods

of

uncasing

are

not

shown.

Although

styling

changes,

the

basic

method

for

casing

and

uncasing

watches

remains

the

same.

It

is

important

to

note

that

every

Timex,

when

completed

at

the

plant,

is

subjected

to

electronic

timing

tests

and

is

run

tested

in

several

positions,

including

horizontal

and

vertical

posi

tions,

to

establish

accurate

timekeeping.

In

addition,

all

water

proof

cases

are

individually

tested

to

35

pounds

per

square

inch,

which

is

equivalent

to

immersion

in

water

to

a

depth

of

82

feet.

Every

watch

is

dust

protected

by

means

of

a

dust

seal

which

is

located

around

the

winding

stem.

Sketches

showing

the

various

types

used

are

included

in

this

service

manual.

Every

Timex

is

fi

tted

with

a

crystal

which

has

been

devel

oped

to

resist

crazing

and

shrinkage.

Every

watch

has

an

unbreakable

mainspring

which

gives

a

consistent

torque

output

and

an

average

running

time

of

42

hours.

Movements

Illustrations

show

the

Timex

movement

is

of

two

plate

design,

whereas

most

conventional

watches

feature

the

bridge

design.

The

two

plate

design

is

most

important

as

it

ensures

inter

changeable

accuracy

for

gear

train

and

escapement,

no

further

adjustment

of

escapement

is

necessary,

the

correct

locking

engage

ment

between

pallet

pins

and

escape

wheel

is

ensured,

thereby

facilitating

servicing.

The

use

of

individual

bridges

may

require

selective

fi

tting

and

special

adjustments.

However,

should

it

be

necessary

to

completely

dismantle

the

movement,

the

illustrations

in

this

booklet

will

guide

further

servicing.

In

the

event

that

complete

dismantling

is

required,

it

is

recommended

that

the

front

frame

be

removed,

thus

fully

ex

posing

the

gear

train

and

associated

parts.

To

reassemble,

start

with

the

back

frame.

Normal

care

should

be

exercised

to

ensure

proper

location

of

the

pivots

in

their

respeaive

hole

positions

in

the

plates.

As

described

later,

it

is

necessary

only

to

remove

the

balance

wheel

assembly,

cannon

pinion,

ratchet

wheel

bridge,

ratchet

wheel

and

click.

In

the

event

that

it

is

necessary

to

remove

the

pallet

lever

and

escape

wheel,

illustrations

are

included

showing

this

opera

tion,

indicating

removal

and

replacement.

Timex

has

found

through long

and

careful

research

the

best

method

of

cleaning

the

movement

is

with

only

the

forementioned

parts

removed

(i.

e.

with

barrel

and

mainspring

in

place).

The

cleaning

method,

while

removing

any

contamination

from

the

movement

will

also

remove

oil

from

the

train

holes

and

bearings.

Since

the

mainspring

is

not

capped,

oil

will

also

be

removed

from

this

area

and

re-oiling

is

required.

In

the

case

of

the

barrel,

special

holes

are

provided

to

ac

complish

this.

For

the

self-wind

movement,

it

is

essential

that

oil

be

applied

to

the

slipping

tail

of

the

mainspring

to

ensure

correa

function.

It

is

seldom

necessary

to

remove

other

parts

except

those

mentioned.

However,

these

parts

must

always

be

removed

for

movement

cleaning.

Research

and

development

are

continually

in

progress,

in

vestigating

new

materials,

new

processes,

etc.

As

these

new

fea

tures

become

thoroughly

tested

under

simulated

long

term

fi

eld

conditions,

they

will

be

introduced

into

the

movement

as

part

of

the

Timex

program,

to

ensure

that

latest

technical

develop

ments

are

incorporated

in

these

products.

As

stated

previously,

with

only

the

balance

assembly,

cannon

pinion,

ratchet

wheel

bridge,

ratchet

wheel

and

click

removed

from

the

movement

it

is

possible

to

clean

thoroughly

and

effic

iently

without

further

dismantling.

For

this

purpose

the

use

of

a

cleaning

machine

is

advantageous

but

not

an

absolute

necessity.

The

movement

should

be

placed

in

the

cleaning

basket

with

the

front

frame

upwards

to

accomplish

proper

draining

of

fl

uid

from

mainspring

barrel;

it

should

be

well

swirled

in

the

cleaning

fl

uid

after

which

at

least

two

sets

of

rinsing

fl

uid

should

be

used,

of

which

the

final,

especially,

must

be

absolutely

clean.

The

movement

then

should

be

thoroughly

dried.

If

a

cleaning

machine

is

not

available

the

same

procedure

can

be

followed

by

holding

the

movement

fi

rmly

around

the

winding

stem

with

a

pair

of

tweezers

and

shaking

it

in

the

clean

ing

and

rinsing

fl

uids

to

ensure

that

they

pass

to

all

parts

of

the

movement.

The

balance

assembly

should

be

cleaned

in

a

small

jar

to

prevent

damage

to

the

hairspring.

Only

standard

watch

cleaning

fl

uids

should

be

used.

It

should

be

remembered

that

when

re-

oiling

the

movement

only

high

grade

watch

oil

should

be

used

and

carefully

metered.

(Oil

used

in

factory

assembly

is

Elgin

#M56B.)

Before

the

balance

assembly

is

replaced

in

a

repaired

movement

the

balance

cups

should

be

oiled

no

less

than

%

full.

Before

replacing

the

cannon

pinion,

apply

grease

to

the

center

arbor.

SELF

WINDING

ATTACHMENT

The

Model

29

self

winding

watch

uses

the

Model

22

move

ment,

details

of

which

have

already

been

given.

To

this

is

added

the

self

winding

attachment

which

winds

the

watch

during

the

time

the

watch

is

worn;

when

taken

off

the

wrist

of

a

normally

active

person,

the

reserve

power

in

the

mainspring

is

sufficient

to

run

the

watch

for

a

full

day.

In

this

booklet

will

be

found

sketches

showing

the

follow

ing:

Plate

Plate

XII)

Oiling

mainspring

slipping

tail.

When

the

Model

29

is

cleaned

as

a

movement,

the

main

spring

and

the

mainspring

slipping

tail

must

be

re-oiled

to

re

place

the

oil

and

grease

washed

away

in

cleaning.

The

mainspring

can

be

re-oiled

through

the

two

holes in

the

back

frame

as

perviously

described

and

should

be

done

with

the

mainspring

approximately

half

wound.

To

introduce

oil

between

the

slipping

tail

and

the

inside

of

the

barrel,

it

is

necessary

to

hold

the

movement

at

about

45°,

the

barrel

and

front

frame

uppermost,

and

using

an

oiler,

wipe

oil

into

the

space

between

the

outside

diameter

of

the

barrel

and

the

barrel

sweeping

in

the

back

frame.

This

oil

will

work

up

between

the

slipping

tail

and

the

inside

of

the

barrel.

On

later

models

one

of

the

oil

holes

in

the

back

frame

has

been

moved

specifically

to

facilitate

oiling

of

the

slipping

tail.

On

models

where

it

has

been

done,

this

can

be

clearly

seen.

USEFUL

HINTS

1)

Although

it

has

been

stated

in

an

earlier

page

that

reassembly

for

the

Model

22

movement

should

be

carried

out

on

the

back

frame,

it

is

possible

to

reverse

the

procedure

for

the

Model

23

movement

and

build

the

watch

on

the

front

frame,

held

in

a

conventional

jewelers

assembly

block.

2)

Oiling.

When

oiling

the

front

frame

balance

cup,

to

facilitate

the

precise

entry

of

the

oil

to

the

bottom

of

the

cup,

un

dertake

this

operation

through

the

balance

screw

hole

before

the

balance

screw

is

assembled.

3)

A

drop

of

oil

applied

to

the

stem

wind

pinion

before

assembly

will

hold

the

pinion

and

its

bridges

together,

thus

facilitating

assembly.

USEFUL

HINTS

MODEL

SELF

WINDING

ATTACHMENT

1)

Examine

the

action

of

the

rotor

on

the

winding

frame,

that

the

staking

is

secure

and

that

the

rotor

is

free

to

make

complete

revolutions

without

interference

against

winding

frame,

movement,

winding

stem,

case

spring

and

case.

Check

that

the

case

spring

is

properly

located

in

the

groove

of

the

bezel.

2)

Check

the

freeness

of

the

bell

crank

lever

and

the

straight

lever

on

the

winding

frame

assembly;

the

freeness

of

the

rollers

on

these

levers

when

they

roll

over

the

eccentric

cam

on

the

rotor

and

the

correct

action

of

the

two

small

clicks

against

the

winding

ratchet

wheel.

3)

Check

the

action

of

the

winding

ratchet

wheel.

By

each

revolution

of

the

rotor,

the

winding

ratchet

wheel

should

be

moved

forward

approximately

six

4)

Check

the

action

of

the

mainspring

in

the

barrel,

that

the

mainspring

tail

is

gripping

properly

in

the

lancing

of

the

before

the

sliding

tail

starts

to

revolve

in

the

barrel.

5)

Oil

all

the

moving

parts

of

the

winding

attachment

sparingly.
