Not without modification and at that price it is a rip off.

I bought a couple old pocket watches at the local flea market with the UT/Eta 6497 for less than $20US each so keep an eye out for old pocket watches for 6497 parts. One was a swiss made Elgin and the other was a Baylor. Thousands of pocket watches with the UT 6497 were made in the 1960s and 1970s and I suspect quite a few made it to the UK. They are not very popular today and the prices tend to be low.

Asking $75 for the shock assembly is $50 or $60 too much imho.

 

As for the A6497...I bought a new A6497 powered wristwatch for $99 a while back to get a movement for a project so a complete A6497 must not be very expensive.
