The Miyota caliber 83S0 is a self-winding automatic movement. It has 21 jewels and is made in Japan.

At the time of this post, not much is known about the caliber 83S0. It is being listed as being the movement in some Bulova models, but it does not appear to have been officially announced by Miyota yet and is not listed on their official site. It’s possible that this movement is exclusive to Bulova for now.

What we do know is that it has a 60 hour power reserve and hacking seconds.

We will update this caliber listing as more information becomes confirmed. In the meantime, please check out the caliber 82S0 here and comment below if you found a watch powered by the 83S0.

I am 99% sure this movement is in my Bulova 98A227 but it does not have hacking seconds.

Are you sure the Bulova 98A227 has this movement? I think it has a 821A…

Is this only in Bulova? Does anyone know another brand? I’ve always been a fan of Zenith watches with the open balance wheel dial but don’t want to spend that much. I would get the 8S20 but really want the higher power reserve and hacking seconds! I will sub to this comment thread, if anyone knows a micro-brand with this movement please let me know!!

Can’t go wrong with a Zenith. They made movements for Rolex watches before!

Nice to see Miyota finally upgrading some of their movements to hack.

I know the caliber is relatively new, still: How did Miyota achieve extra power reserve, possibly silicone components like ETA? Is it serviceable by local watchmakers? Experiences, anyone?

They just replaced the mainspring barrel with one that has a longer main spring. Should be doable by your local watchmaker. Silicon is usually a material used for the hairspring and has nothing to do with the power reserve.

I have a Bulova 96A243 that uses this movement.

I owned my watch for about 3 years when it quit working. I sent it to Bulova for repair. They indicated it needed a new movement, which I approved for $167.00.
I wonder if this one will last longer than 3 years!
