Titoni Airmaster Watch
May 23rd, 2008 by AnA
This used Titoni Airmaster watch had just arrived. So far for about half a day, it still keep good time. The movement is ETA 2836-2. Heard this famous movement was from the 70’s and still in use today. The ticking sound is louder than all my other watches. I somehow like the simplicity of this watch. The day and date indicator changes at about 12 o’clock.
Notice that the clicking (usual tick-tok) sound from the movement is not very constant. I thought is like tick-tok, tick-tok, tick-tok..etc But for this watch; it is like tick, tick, tick, tong, tong, tick, tick ,tick,tick,tick, tong, tick…that means; No fix pattern of the clicking sound. Is this normal for ETA’s movement?
After 3 days later, the time was off and slower by about 3 minutes since the last adjustment. Maybe the beat is off? This time, I listen to the sound again carefully; and it seem no “tok” sound; only “tick” and seem to ends with a with “tong” sounds; and all seem to merge together at times. Why is there a ‘tong’ sound? I am not sure as I never own any ETA’s movement before. I will find a chance to listen to a ETA’s to confirm if all this tick, tok or tong sound is normal. Guess, I will leave as it is for now.
For the time being enjoys the pictures of my new watch below. Cheers!
