Hi,

I'm trying to put back an Oris 654Kif watch. I already did most of the movement, but unfortunately, it's my first date wheel and I can't remember how it was assembled.

I'm left with the date wheel, plate and a spring and I can't seem to find a place where I can screw on the spring.

I have the datasheet for the movement but it doesn't show the assemble, only a part list.

Here's what it looks like:

I'd appreciate any help with that.

Thanks a lot!

A little poking around on eBay yielded this:

And from the video that @HectorLooi posted, we can see that it looks like one of the holes in the spring has a screw and the other maybe lets a screw from the outside ring pass through it:

So I'd start trying to match up the holes in that area and see if anything works. Keep us posted!

Thanks a lot!

 

I experimented and ended up finding where to screw it. The holding ring has a part that is thinner to accommodate the jumper.

My jumper has a slightly different shape than the one from the picture but its the same idea.

The hole in the middle is to let the dial feet pass.

Unfortunately, the hammer of the date jumper doesn't touch the date disk if I assemble it like this. It's a couple of millimeters short. I'm probably missing something self-evident here.

    • This is wrong. We have been talking about the regulator pins because conventionally the regulator is two pins, or a pin and a boot. The Etachron regulator is one round pin with a wide slot down the middle for the hairspring to sit in. To regulate, the pin is rotated anticlockwise (viewed from above) which brings the rear inner and front outer corners of the slot equally closer to the spring.

    • Than you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and informative post. It really helps. So, another question: With the Etachron system the stud pushes into the carrier but the angle on the vertical plane of the stud is based on the carrier arm. I expected it to be flat but I have seen some movements where it is bent slight down meaning the stud is pointing slightly inward at the bottom and the spring leaving the stud is affected. Is this something that is done at the factory to flatten the spring?  I played around with manipulating the spring vertical angle as it leaves the stud and it has a significant effect on how it goes through the pins and also the angle of the coils on the other side of the balance. I can flatten the spring by adjusting the angle it leaves the stud. Now I know the NH35 is a mass produced movement so not the best quality but is the stud vertical angle ever manipulated to flatten the spring? 
    • Because the water is very hard with calcium where I live, and I saw that on a youtube demo 🤔... Maybe it's unnecessary...
