Notes: | The same as cal. 7S25 but with day display (as well as date). The difference between 7S26A and 7S26B is an upgrade to an Echtacron-style regulator for easier adjustment. Changes in 7S26C are the addition of a lower arbor jewel and making all four date dial guard screws identical – no more frustratingly small cross-head screw! The difference between the 7S26 and cal. 7S36 is the addition of a lower bridge for third wheel and pinion in the 7S36, which gives it two extra jewels. The increased jewel count might imply better performance and accuracy but in reality there's probably little or no difference. Note that the date wheel used for 7S26A and 7S26B is not compatible with 7S26C. |
