cations on version
«D»
Calibre 1538D
Application :
When repairing a version D, the new components must be
used systematically.
When ordering one of the two components individually, an
automated order of KIT ref. 7221530D9999* is issued.
It comprises:
Seconds wheel ref. 7221530D30027*
Intermediate wheel ref. 7221530D30012
Goal of the technical modi
fi
cation:
Further improve the accuracy of the seconds hand jump in
relation to the dial markers, including a reduction of the
wheel engagement play.
Interchangeability
New and old wheel executions must not be mixed; there is a
serious risk of blocking
.
Calibre version 1538C was produced with old and new
wheel executions. We therefore suggest to systematically
using new wheels from the KIT ref. 7221530D9999*.
Version D
Kit Ref. 7221530D9999*
New seconds wheel (yellow) and
intermediate wheel (grey).
Reduction of the play of the wheel engagement
to improve seconds hand jump.
New version from date code: 42/07
The policy for local repair is:
We recommend a movement exchange (see Working
Instruction no. 31).
In case of local repair, the exchange or replacement of
spare parts must be made according to the movement
version (see engraving on main plate). Example: On a
movement calibre 1538B, the parts to exchange or repla-
ce are those mentioned under version 1538B.
