Skipper: Powered by 7730 or 7733?
In Response To: Re: Difficult to Date / Size of Production Run? ()

I have never studied the sequence and variations on the Valjoux 773X movements, but ask which one is inside this Skipper? I thought that it was a 7730, modified to take the 30 minutes per revolution down to 15 minutes per revolution. Correct or incorrect?

Cool fact about these Skippers: the minute recorder jumps every 30 seconds!!

: brands.
