On the technical sheet it is the 371equivalent (370). The technical sheet is from ETA who make the movement. And since the case is made by breitling, they have made the caseback to accommodate a thicker battery for longer service intervals. This is my assumption. So the round well on the caseback is there to also accommodate a thicker long life battery (399 or 395)

As a former High School advanced electronics teacher, quartz movement time pieces were part of my lecture regarding piezo electricity and electromagnetism. Some of them can generate a frequency so high, it breaks one second into 30k parts and that is what makes them so accurate. The are truly a marvel of electrical engineering.

For what you said at 3:40 - The first watch I bought from my own money, back then as a fresh employee was a Timex Quartz watch with thermometer a compass fucntion. I was so happy I bought it with my own money and I was looking at the time every couple of minutes. I still have it, and when I look at it it reminds me of how I felt at the time. Anyway, beautiful video!

Newcomer, I've just subbed, purely due to this video. Awesome. I've owned my breitling aerospace now for 27 yrs. First saw it at a breitling stand at an airshow & knew I had to have one. Took me 3 yrs to pay it off on credit & I couldn't afford it really, but it's been with me through thick & thin & a divorce settlement & I still love the way it looks. Glad to know I could now fix it. Cheers.

Spot on! I bought a Seiko quartz with my very first pay packet over 30 years ago. I still have it. 🙂✌️

No, not necessarily Automatic watches are a pain, you have to adjust the time every month because even the world's most accurate mechanical watch is still +/- 3 - 10 seconds a day! And mechanical watches need servicing which is very expensive A quartz watch doesn't suffer from any of that garbage and is infinitely more accurate than a mechanical because quartz = modern digital technology and mechanical = ancient technology

@@jurivlk5433 Who cares about all that, all a watch has to do is tell the time and a modern digital quartz technology watch does that extremely well compare to even the most expensive mechanical watches available because a top end quartz watch such a grand Seiko spring/direct drive is in a league of its own compared to the best mechanical watch available Metaphorically speaking, the internal combustion engine was a paradigm shift in human engineering advancement 120 odd years ago however, technology moves on, its called progress hence electric cars is the way ahead, petrol/diesel will be confined to history books soon and similarly, mechanical watches have also had their day with smart technology now incorporated in to EVERYTHING, digital is the way ahead

Beautiful! I personally have nothing against quartz watches. I've worn many, and they're very practical. But I've been a mechanical tick-tock watch and clock lover since very early childhood. Some of the first things I would take apart trying to figure out out how they work were my grandpa's broken pocket watches. He'd break one, buy a new one and give me the broken one to play with because as a child I loved taking things apart to figure them out. Now 50 years later, the swinging pendulums and swaying balance wheels have a romantic place in my heart that nothing else can replace.

Nice to see a vid of restoring of Breitling aerospace, especially when you do the complete disassemble of the module to clean and repair it.

I appreciate the Family Guy reference!

I've had one of these for over 20 years and it's never skipped a beat. Utterly reliable and useful and I think it's a good looking watch to be honest.

I dont know what I more like. The commentary! And something cool watching you expertly pull the watch apart and then clean and put it all back together! I subbed and see I have a great back catalogue to watch.

Another great video and your spot on about quartz watches. I have some very early Omega quartz watches which I bought as non-runners, have repaaired and they are very mechanical, superbly engineered and can be adjusted for increadible accuracy. One day soon I hope to share these via youtube. Keep the great videos and the cheeky humour coming.

Love this! I grew up in the Quartz Revolution in the seventies and remember how excited we all were about amazing accuracy and next to no maintenance plus greater resistance to shocks. As an adult with more spending power I have been able to collect some of the more higher end early quartz that I used to drool over so now have an early Seiko LCD , the famous first gen GP quartz amongst others. I also love the electric and tuning fork watches from back then as well as of course some vintage mechanical. Would love to see you service an electric and tuning fork watch!

As always, fantastic. The knowledge imparted is as much fun as the tear down. Seeing a quartz breakdown is very interesting!

when i was a child, i change myself the Casio Databank battery, the only time i send the watch to watch shop they put the rear case in bad position a miniature spring pops and shortcircuit , now ia have a dead Classic watch, on that time i explode on kid fury!!! i cant believe it, they are specialists.. but they do a damage, and not accept to repair it.. i never trust again , i do myself on all my watches.

Fun to see a quartz being serviced!

One of my favorite watches I have ever owned was from a company I don't think exists anymore. It was named Riviera, and it was the first watch I ever owned that wasnt a cheap 2 dollar watch. It had a square, gold dial and was mainly silver, with small gold accents on the watch band. It just kept ticking, and was always right on time. It kept going for almost 6 years without needing a battery. When I changed it, it kept stopping, and I was worried that because I couldnt find the company that made it anymore, I wouldnt be able to get it fixed. A few years passed, and i thought I had lost it. when I finally found and opened it up, i learned that it had a JP-01 quartz movement, one of the super cheap, easy to replace movements they make. That old friend is still in my collection as the watch that started my love for watches.

I’ve no issue with quartz watches, but there’s nothing like the thrill of knowing that you’re wearing tiny hand made machine on your wrist, and that if you put it in a draw and forget about it for 20 years you can pick it up, give it a little shake or a wind and it will start working again

@cookingprof

I'm not a fan of quartz. OK.. Mechanical watches can be brought back to their original glory. You just can't shake and wind! Oils ;(Yes there are many), that are in a mechanical watch degrade over time and they are not the liquid that they were when the watch was built/ last serviced. They are STILL subject to corrosion of the mechanism. A cleaning and an oil change is important. IMHO . This is even MORE important on watches that are, :Auto or Self winding". Watches that have: complications, need additional care after your stared 20 years.
