Thank you very much. *ROLEX 618 IN POCKET WATCHES For a long time it was believed that Rolex 618 units were exclusively produced for the usage in Vintage Panerai watches. This is definitely not true. I have found several Rolex pocket watches with proper Rolex 618 movements with 15 Jewels. The oldest of them had Glasgow import hallmarks with date letter [k] from 1933. These calibers are not to be confused with the slimmer Rolex 622 “Elinvar” used in so many Rolex pocket watches from the early 1930’s. CORTEBERT 620RThe first exclusively for Panerai produced Reference 3646 was equipped with highly elaborated Cortebert Cal. 618 16 Ligne movements with 17 Jewels and fully jeweled escapement wheel. Cal. 618 shares the same main plate with Cal. 616. This caliber was developed around 1932 as a more robust option to the thin Cal. 620/622. It was offered with 2 different bridge layouts. The balance cock had the typical AR/FS (avant, retard/fast, slow) engravings and the bridges were decorated with 7 stripes of Côtes de Genève (Geneva stripes). Cortebert had already supplied various calibers to Rolex for the usage in small dress pocket watches. Cal. 492/514 for instance can be found in early “Eaton Quarter Century Club” award watches. From 1928 to late 1940’s they also used Cal. 622 in a highly elaborated and decorated version with 17 Jewels. This calibers were equipped with an “Elinvar” Breguet overcoil hairspring. Cal. 622 shares the same main plate with Cal. 620 and is a lot thinner than Cal. 616/618. * * All items if returned for whatever reasons please contact us firstly to require the return address. * For the returned defective will be tested.
