Movement and Caliber Performance
How to distinguish between AF Factory Cartier Ballon Bleu Japanese movement and caliber 076?
The original Cartier Cal.076 movement is actually a movement based on the ETA 2671 movement. This time, AF took things seriously and used the ETA 2671 movement; Both the mechanism working and the movement parts are exactly the same, it is not a domestically reworked version of a raw ETA 2671 as before. The inscriptions on the rotor are exactly the same as the original, with gold engraving used. As I mentioned above when comparing the dial, the center shaft of the hour and minute hands is the same, and the hour markers are also used in common. It is also necessary to note a detail that is not visible in the image: Cal.076 has only two stages; First stage winding, second stage clock setting, no idle stage. First of all, it is necessary to know this feature of the Swiss movement 076; and this function exists only in this mechanism. Secondly, the idle stage has been completely removed throughout the clock; The price side is naturally quite high. As for the Japanese mechanism, there is an idle stage in between. However, most watch enthusiasts prefer the Japanese movement; After all, the external appearance is exactly the same, only the structure of the mechanism is different. When it comes to the lifespan of the watch, the Swiss movement is definitely slightly superior; But the Japanese mechanism is not bad either. However, when it comes to a mechanical watch, you should take care of your watch and avoid unnecessary impacts during the future use!
Summary: Today, I have once again explained the question of how to distinguish the AF Factory Cartier Ballon Bleu Japanese movement from the 076 movement. You can now decide for yourself which option the AF Factory movement will be. Thank you for watching!
I hope this article will be useful to you. I will share more detailed parts reviews, real shot evaluations and real-replica comparisons in the coming days.
