UTS quartz Carriage Clock battery movement Mechanism replacement

If you are not familiar with quartz mechanisms
Beware !! .. Do not rely solely on the manufacturer's name.
Please read carefully the movement description
and/or my guide at the bottom of this listing

Since all manufacturers make various models,
matching the factory name alone or part number will not guarantee that your hands will fit.
It is always recommended to measure the hands' spindles to identify the correct movement
~~ You need a good vernier or a micrometer to measure the spindles properly ~~

.... and if you are still unsure what type of movement you need,
you are welcome to send me your mechanism and hands and I will select the correct one for you.
There is a small charge for this service

This listing is for the UTS German movements
with micro-shaft* hand fittings, for push-fit hands

*MICROSHAFT  hands' fittings dimensions:
Please check these measurements, otherwise your hands will not fit.
Hour hand fitting ... Ø 3.50mm diameter 
Minute hand fitting ... Ø 2mm diameter



Warning 
1) This is a VERY UNCOMMON MODEL: In order to avoid returns or other problems ...
     I strongly recommend that you send me some photos before buying.
2) Older models may have slightly different hands-fittings.
     In this case, you will have to adjust the hands to make them fit properly, or purchase new hands as well.
3) In the past, there used to be various shaft heights, but nowadays this is the only one available.


Parts included with the movement:  the center nut* and the rubber washer only.
This movement usually goes into carriage clocks, therefore it is not supplied with the hanging hook, but
if you need one, please attach a message with your purchase and I will include it for free
If you also require the hands, you have the option to add them to your purchase from the drop-down menu.
Please note that the 25mm and 30mm hands are plastic, while the 42mm hands are metal.
All hands are black and "spade" in design
The movement is suitable for dials of thickness from 0mm up to 3.5mm

How to select the correct movement:
As a general rule, there are 3 common types of movements: European/German-style, Japanese-style and Chinese-style.
What mainly defines their difference/style is the hands-spindles' dimensions and shape ...
and that is, irrespective of the name on the movement and country of origin !!
Since all manufacturers make variations, matching the name alone will not guarantee that you have chosen the right one.
So, in the main, you select the correct replacement by comparing the spindles ... not just the name on it

1) Standard European models: The usual names are UTS, Hechinger, Hermle, Junghans, EL etc
    These models secure the mechanism by means of a flanged nut with exterior thread, which screws into the clock body
    Hands' fittings: Hour-hand Ø4.95mm ~ Min-hand is held in place by a nut onto an oblong brass threaded shaft, 2.8x 3.5mm .... link to the listing
     European Variants ... both hands on these models are push-fitted
     1a) Round-Shaft: spindles' dimensions: Hour-shaft Ø4.95mm - Minute-shaft Ø3.5mm ... see this listing
     1b) Micro-Shaft: spindles' dimensions: Hour Ø3.50 - Minute Ø2mm - Seconds Ø0.5mm ...  this listing is of this model

The Chinese and Japanese models are easily identifiable, as they have a length of brass-thread fixed to the clock body and a nut that screws on it.
These two look exactly the same to each other, the only difference is the dimension of the hands' spindles
2) Japanese: hour-shaft Ø 5.5mm, minute-shaft Ø 3.6mm, with push-fit hands ... link to the listing
3) Chinese: hour-shaft Ø 5mm, minute-shaft Ø 3.10mm, with push-fit hands ..... link to the listing
  3a) Chinese variant, "I" shaft: this model has the minute-hand secured by a nut onto an aluminium or brass oblong threaded shaft ...
     similar fitting to the European ... but they cannot be confused, because the chinese one has the characteristic brass thread attached to the clock body.
     Hand-fitting dimensions: Hour shaft Ø 5mm - Min shaft 2.8 x 4mm with M4 thread ... link to the listing

Of course there are exception to these rules, as most manufacturers make variations of their movements

Additional Notes:
A) All quartz movements will last longer if you use a rechargeable battery,
    especially the german-made ones that, because of their design, will last many many years
B) Snap-fit movements: all movements are suited for snap-fitting,
    but most of them will not have the the brass threaded section
