The movementMiyota 9039, in plain words

The movement, in plain words

Baltany lists the Miyota 9039 for the S4015 1926 Oyster tribute.

How it runs. An automatic that also winds by hand through the crown. Wearing it keeps it running.

Beat. It beats 28,800 times an hour, 8 a second, so the seconds hand sweeps in small steps.

Off the wrist. It runs for about 42 hours once fully wound. Take it off on Friday evening and it will have stopped by Sunday around midday.

Accuracy. Miyota's figure is -10 to +30 seconds/day.
