: Hi Derek. Join the club. If you scroll down the messages to late Marchish you'll find my same request for info as yet unanswered. At the Timezone forum, there is clearly an indication that it is not and never has been a thermocompensated movement. However further scrolling down this forum would suggest it is a themocompensated quartz movement ex ETA255.461 developed from or replacing calibre 1438. That's all I know, but perhaps someone will be kind enough to put us out of our misery
