Modifications of Caliber 3105

Juri Levenberg's German site (and defunct blog) has scans of the caliber 3105 modifications.

Some of which have apparently never seen the light of day.

Well, at least I have never seen them used in any watch. But others did make it, albeit for a short time. 

A base 3105 caliber -- as is known it is the cal. 3133 less the stopwatch and minute counter apparatus.


3105.01 has a moonphase and a moon calendar complication.


Only the date window is at three o'clock in real life.

I am fortunate to have this movement in my Zaria Moonphase 3105.01. It qualifies as a rarity as only two to three thousand were ever made. The movement can also be found in some Volmax watches, in particular certain Buran models.


And now, the caliber 3105.02 - the complication here is a 24-hour scale.


3105.03 with a day/night indicator (and a 24-hour scale?). Seen in some Volmax watches, such as Aviator.


3105.04 -- open heart. Never seen.



This is more or less in the past now.

  1. Is the 3105 still made? When were they produced?

    1. No, they are not. They were produced up to 2011.

  2. Would you have any idea where I might find replacement parts for the 3105? I need an escape wheel and the bridge piece that secures it in place.

    1. Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe you could buy a 3105 watch and get the parts from the movement.
