The Zodiac 47 watch movement is a classic mechanical movement known primarily for its reliability and use in vintage Zodiac watches. This movement is an automatic caliber, meaning it winds itself using the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist, eliminating the need for manual winding under regular use. It features a sweep second hand, which means the second hand moves smoothly around the dial rather than ticking in increments, a characteristic appreciated by watch enthusiasts. Zodiac 47 movements are cherished for their solid construction, often incorporating a robust barrel and efficient winding rotor.
Key features of the Zodiac 47 movement include:
Automatic winding with a reliable rotor mechanism that continuously powers the mainspring.
Sweep second hand for smooth motion of the seconds indicator.
Date setting capability with protection against changing the date during restricted hours to avoid damage to the mechanism.
Durable construction designed to withstand typical daily wear and tear.
Power reserve lasting approximately 40 hours from full winding.
Utilized in Zodiac’s vintage watch models appreciated for their precision and longevity.
The Zodiac 47 movement represents an era of Swiss watchmaking focused on precision, functionality, and durability. Its automatic nature made it popular for everyday wear, combining convenience with reliable performance. Collectors and watchmakers value this movement not only for its technical merits but also for its historical significance within the Zodiac brand’s legacy.
This movement, while vintage, still serves as a testament to quality watch engineering from the mid-20th century, reflecting Zodiac’s reputation for crafting dependable and robust timepieces.
