Vintage Titoni Airmaster Restoration: ETA 2784 Movement
Welcome to another journey in watch restoration! In this episode, we're taking a trip back in time with a classic - the Titoni Airmaster. A timepiece that once soared high, this vintage beauty found itself grounded due to age and wear. But every watch has a second chance, and that's where our journey begins.
In the heart of the Airmaster beats an ETA 2784 movement, a testament to Swiss craftsmanship. We'll be diving deep into this mechanism, battling years of dormancy to bring it back to life. From initial inspection to the thrilling moment of ticking back to life, I'll take you through each meticulous step of this delicate process. As we breathe new life into this vintage timepiece, we honor its legacy and prepare it for many more years of reliable timekeeping.
So, buckle up and join me as we take this grounded Airmaster back to the skies. The journey promises to be just as fulfilling as the destination. Let's give time another chance!

    I have a bulova with a 10ae movement, just back from the local watch guy who overhauled it. Partly I wanted this done because it didnt have a wind stop, and I suspected the spring was broken. However it still doesnt have a wind stop, and he claims that bulova told him that these movements dont have a wind stop. I find that difficult to believe - wondered if you had any insight on this. Its a bulova american clipper, 10ae movement, made in 1935.

    Nice resto. Although, that is not an SKX, it is a 7002-7020. SKX hase a 7s26 movement and no applied indices. The SKX is kind of a progression from this model. I like this dial better but the bezel from the SKX is better. There is an 7S26-7020 day/date version of this model known as the SKX171.

      This is subjective, some movements benefit depending on wear and age, a newish movement should remain dry, and to be fair I don’t think oiling the pallet fork will make any difference to its performance looking at the end resulting trace.

      Good question. I really doubt it as it should be unnecessary. This watch looks like it had been serviced at least twice earlier in its lifetime and for whatever reason additional washers were added it didn’t seem to hurt it either. These may not even be the original washers.

What was surprising, not shown in the video, was that it looked like someone had disassembled this movement before me and one of the wheels was not installed correctly.
