Swiss Watch Movement - FHF ST 96
The ST96 movement was used in a lot of watches before the Quartz revulotion and can be a "decent" work horse.
The FHF (Standard) caliber 96, a men’s size movement, which was used frequently, is a direct relative of the vintage FHF 67, althogh the shape and decoration of the bridges is much more modern.
The center second hand is driven directly; the ring balance does not have a long regulator arm, but a quick release mechanism for the hairspring regulator - a very useful detail for a service.
FHF 97 VS FHF 96:
The caliber FHF 97 featured here is similar to the FHF 96 with the main difference being the beat rate. The FHF 97 beats at 21,600vph and the FHF 96 beats at 18,000 vph.
