Description

The Osco 850 is one of the latest inhouse movements of the manufactury of Otto Schlund in Schwenningen, Germany. It is build in a pier construction with undecorated plates and a winding system, that runs partially in plastic bearings.

The modernly shaped ring balance is secured by two KIF Trior systems; the minute wheel is excentrically located and the center second (which runs in a clear jewel) is indirectly driven by a twice geared wheel.

Unfortunately the movement shown here is in a very bad condition with large parts of the date mechanism and the stem missing as well as with a bent hairspring.
