Detailed information on different movements?

[bvmjethead]

Newbie here.

I'm looking for detailed information on different movements, automatic movements. Diagrams, schematics, video, pics, instructions, tours of factories and videos of tours of factories.

Anything that I can learn about how things work from.

Thanks.

Are you interested in Swiss movements or Japanese, or both?

[bvmjethead]

Both, as I'm interested in SEEING and LEARNING how things have evolved, improved and how things work.

I'm in the process of purchasing an Orient Star 300m Diver with a yellow dial so the movement that powers this watch would be a great start.

Thanks for looking.

This might help you with Orient movements specifically: http://watches.zsebehazy.com/orient_movements.htm

The Orient Star diver is nice!

Thank you Sir!

Are there any other online resources?

[bvmjethead]

Anyone else know of any online resources for detailed information for learning purposes on how automatic movements work.

Hopefully including detailed pictures and or video.

Looking to learn.

:thanks

There is a ton of info online. Google movement types, ie 2824 movement. Here are a couple of websites:

The WIS encyclopedia of the 2824 ETA movement -- by Rafael Ed. Calderon

The movement on Orient is 46N4A -made in Japan. Google it and poke around.
