Seiko Magic Lever

Dec 01, 2008,16:16 PM
 

In thread below this system was mentioned as being similar to the Pellaton wonding of the IWC.  A post by Eightohms was referenced where some descriptions and diagrams were offered.  I thought this video may help - this is from a Seiko 6309A I serviced some time ago and it shows the magic lever at work.

First though here is a shot of the mechanism - sorry this is before cleaning so please ignore the dirt.

And from the other side - you can see where the rotor is attached.

And the video of it in action.

I hope you find this useful.  Here is the watch...it was in rough shape when I received it.

Cheers, Al

Great video Al and very informative, That Seiko sure is beaten up. In the video it looks like you did a great job of cleaning it up as good as new! Hopefully you restored it back to health to a happy owner. Thanks for sharing! -MW

Thank you...
