The Ingersoll caliber IN 523 automatic watch movement is found in the Houston model. This movement is Chinese-made with 22 jewels.

Accuracy

Ingersoll watches claims this movement should stay accurate between -30 to +30 seconds per day when worn under normal conditions.

Instructions for Day, Date and Month Setting

  1. To achieve an accurate day of the week setting, pull the crown out to the first position and turn the crown anti-clockwise until a day prior to the day you required is achieved i.e. if today is Wednesday then set it onto Tuesday. Now turn the crown clockwise until a date prior to the date you required is achieved. i.e. today is the 16th then set it onto the 15th.
  2. Press button A until you get the month you require.

In the Ingersoll manual, they state the following:

“Over wind of the spring may cause damage to the mainspring. Only wind the spring as far as it will go but not beyond.”

This is a Dixmont Guangzhou 28xx movement. You can see the Dixmont logo under the balance wheel.

BTW – Since the DG28xx movements have a hacking lever on the fourth wheel, this movement should hack as well.

If the feature set is correct, and this is a 4-eye, multi-function version, then it’s actually a Dixmont Guanzhou DG3847B. It’s hard to be sure without knowing what the watch face looks like.

Nevermind – I found the watch, and the movement is the DG3836-6D.

I have this movement in an Omega copy I purchased from a shop in Turkey. When I saw it had hacking and hand winding I thought it was a very good £100 worth. The watch also features sapphire glass and a ceramic bezel.
