The Miyota caliber 8285 is an automatic movement with a day-date complication. This movement is based on the cal. 82XX series of what Miyota calls their “Standard Automatic” line. It is made in Japan and has 21 jewels and a beat rate of 21,600 vph with a power reserve of about 42 hours.

Availability:

This movement is discontinued and no longer available from Miyota. You may still be able to find it from watch parts sellers.

Miyota Day-Date:

Can this movement replace in existing wrist watches the defective Chinese DG 2813-day-date movement ? ( I mean – are dial legs, outer diameter, thickness – similar ?..)
