Does anyone know the movement for a 1983 airking?

[teddy boy]

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.

Thanks, my watch is of the 5500 series making the movement a 1520. That page at Bernard is quite a find; I've been to Bernard many times but never stumbled across that page.

Thanks again!

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.
