teddy boy Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I have a 1983 airking. I've conducted a web search but can't find what movement the airking used back then. There is no particular reason that I need to know other than I like to know the movement in each of my watches. Any help would be appreciated.

That page at Bernard is quite a find; I've been to Bernard many times but never stumbled across that page. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I just took a 1520 movt out of a 5500 Air King- circa 1972-3. The watches with the 1570 movt. will say "Superlative Chronometer, Officially Certified" on the dial since the 1570 is chronometer rated and the 1520 isn't.
