Description of ⏰ Quartex Q-80 Quartz Clock Movement for Dial Thickness up to 3/4”, Hand Shaft Length of 1-3/16”

Quartz Clock Movement Kit: This clock mechanism is perfect with its clock parts for repairing, replacing, or making your own DIY clock project. The clock movement design keeps foreign matter out of the gears, resulting in years of trouble-free operation. Clock Movement Measurements: Total hand shaft length is 28.6 mm (1 1/8 inch). Total shaft diameter is 7.9 mm (5/16 inch). Maximum Clock Dial Thickness: 17.5 mm (11/16 inch). Refers to the thickness of the combined material (clock face material and support board the dial is mounted to) that the threaded length of the movement shaft travels through. The hardware adds 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) making the total length of the threaded bushing 19.1 mm (3/4 inch). For finding a replacement, measure the threaded portion of the shaft on the old clock movement. If length is shorter or equal to 19.1 mm (3/4 inch), this is suitable. Clock Hands Measurements: Total black spade hour and minute hand length is approx. 63.5 mm (2 1/2 inch), total red second hand length is approx. 69.9 mm (2 3/4 inch). The Q-80 movement will have a step motion that creates a ticking sound, powered by an AA battery. Package Contents Include: One easy to assemble quartz clock movement, one hour hand, one minute hand, one second hand, and hand mounting hardware.

Quartz Movement

This helped me repair and salvage a grandfather clock. My clock is 14 inch. The hands of this movement are not designed for such a large watch. The clock motor was just what I needed. I removed the original hands from the broken mechanism and attached them to this new one. Now I have working hours again with little expenditure of time and money.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Low Repairability

Threaded shank is too short for a 3/4 " thick watch

Easy to assemble although the very thin metal hands bend easily and were slightly bent when I received them. Unfortunately I had a 3/4 "Thick piece of wood and the threaded portion of the shaft wasn't long enough to fit the hex nut on the other side, so I had to order a completely different movement with a much longer shaft.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • boring packaging

Excellent purchase! the best movement

I just needed some movements and bought them from Michaels. The last 2 didn't work and I had to take them back. Both times they said it happens all the time. It's disappointing that they were about 6-8 months apart and Michaels didn't appear to have fixed the issue with his kits. The hour hand does not stop. It was nice to find a comparable movement kit that actually works on the Revain. So far it seems to be of good quality.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Works great so far - Hardware

I bought this to replace a worn out movement on a watch my daughter made almost 20 years ago. When I opened the package I was impressed with how carefully the items were packed. Everything in this kit was of a higher quality compared to the more expensive unit that failed on my install. The instructions are great. Installation was easy and still works great. This is a bargain and highly recommended. Note: A lesson I learned from my bad experience a few days ago is to put in the battery and…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Ideal solution for refurbishing old clockwork clocks

I wanted to replace the original clockwork in a wooden table clock from the early 1900's with a thick bezel. The shaft of this quartz movement is exactly the same length as the original and is perfect for my project. I removed the original gear and put it in a gallon sized ziplock bag, put the new gear in the existing hole and tightened the nut on the shaft to hold it in place. The arms were slightly longer than the originals but could easily be trimmed with small wire cutters. You can install…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Periodicity
