This is the caliber 420ss, a 17 jewel movement and is 11.5 ligne or 25.6 mm in diameter. This is a movement with an indirect sweeps seconds feature. Almost all parts will interchange with a 405 and the sweeps parts will interchange with the 405ss. The only difference between the 420ss and the 410ss is the size; other wise it is fully interchangeable. These movements are always marked with the caliber number in the space next to the balance wheel and the cap-jewel for the escape wheel.

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
