ORIOSA WATCH WITH MOVEMENT AS 5008
Movement AS 5008 launched in 1973 with few variations.
This movement is with following features:
Wind watch: self-winding, manual winding with crown at 2h.
Set date: pull crown at 2h to first step and turn in 12h direction.
Set day: pull crown at 2h to first step and turn in 6h direction.
The chosen language will be maintained. In this watch disc have two
languages: Deutch (German) and English.
Set time: pull crown at 2h completely and set time. If you set the time reverse and pass the alarm time, this will be set reverse simultaneously. Watch has some so-called military option: When you pull upper key out, second hand stop. Wind alarm: self-winding, manual winding with crown at 4h. Need to say that manual winding is not easy job.
Set alarm: pull crown at 4h
and set alarm time. The alarm time can only be set
reverse, setting forward is inhibited by a freewheel.
Enable alarm: pull crown at 4h. Disable alarm: push crown at 4h.
This is important part. If you set your alarm and you don’t want to
hear alarm in afternoon, you simple push alarm key (bottom key) inside and
alarm will be disabled. But if you need alarm, pull alarm and they will work.
Resume: Upper key for day, date time
Bottom key for winding alarm and setting alarm time.

Hands sizes: 2.20 x 1.50 x 0.90 x 0.2 Only imperfections what I can see: Couple scratches on back cover and on case. Upper crown is probably replaced or worned. Down is with visible remarks. Setting date is easy, setting day sometime can be harder better to say that setting day does not work. It works sometimes, probably needed to replace upper stem.
