Abstract
A watch movement construction, in which a circuit board is mounted on one surface of a base plate and has a cutout formed at a position near an outer circumference of the movement construction to accommodate a battery in a position such that a circumferential periphery of the battery is partially aligned with the outer circumference of the movement construction whereas a calendar display member is disposed between another surface of the base plate and a time dial at a position displaced from a central portion of the base plate so that a line passing through a center of the battery, a center of the base plate and a center of the calendar display member makes an obtuse angle whereby the calendar display member and the battery are substantially not in an overlapping state thereby to reduce the thickness of the movement construction.
Claims3
A movement construction for an electronic wristwatch powered by a battery having a reduced diameter portion comprising:
- a base plate;
- a reduction wheel train mechanism provided at a central portion of said base plate;
- a time dial mounted on one surface of said base plate;
- a circuit board mounted on another surface of said base plate and having a cutout formed at a position near an outer circumference of said movement construction to accommodate said battery in a fixed place such that a circumferential periphery of said battery is partially aligned with the outer circumference of said movement construction;
- and
- a calendar display member disposed between the front surface of said base plate and said time dial and having its center displaced from the central portion of said base plate so that a line passing through a center of said battery, a center of said base plate and a center of said calendar display member makes an obtuse angle whereby said calendar display member and said battery are substantially out of overlapping state to reduce the thickness of said movement construction.
