Hi Jacob,
Welcome to Malaysia Watch Forum.

You can try checking ETA's website: http://www.eta.ch/ which contain lots of information on their movements.

If it's not there then you're not likely to find it elsewhere.

 :Cheers:

Is this the caliber you're looking for?

If so, it is not ETA but Adolf Schild's AS1900/01

wow ! yeah ! that is it .. I saw it in a 60's or 70's titoni airmaster but usually they are on the ETA 2824-2.

since the movement used is different, i decided to ask around and i was told a ETA cal. 1900/01 which i have no knowledge about so i have decided to dig further but with no avail.

anyone knows if a titoni airmaster used a Adolf Schild's AS1900/01 movement ?
can't seem to get a lot of info on it as well .. tried google bla bla bla but with no avail (again)
any pros care to share some info ?  ;)

The Titoni Airmaster is powered by a number of movement, year dependent. I believe the more modern version are powered by either the ETA 2824 or ETA 2801 or ETA 2804. The vintage ones are powered by Titoni 21 jewel movement based on the AS 1900 movement. Some are powered by ETA 2752 (eta 2452?) movement. Is the one you looking at the hand wind version or the automatic version?

thanks a lot ! i am thinking of buying a hand winding piece.
I really appreciate your insight on the airmaster using a AS1900 movement.
All of those that i have found or saw uses a ETA2824 and infos on the AS1900 movement is scarce.
thank you again.
