Castle INT AS Cal. 1980 – 17 Jewel Swiss Watch Movement – With Dial, Hands, Crown & Stem – Vintage
📌 Description
Vintage Castle INT watch movement powered by the AS (A. Schild) Caliber 1980, featuring 17 jewels. This is a complete assembly including the dial, hands, crown, and stem — ready to be cased by a watchmaker or used for parts.
The movement is not branded on the dial. When wound, the movement showed signs of running, and the balance moves freely. Due to age, it is still offered as a parts or project movement.

- Benrus (select Swiss models)
- Wittnauer (private‑label imports)
- Armitron (Swiss mechanical era)
- Unbranded and jewelry‑store Swiss watches
*Brand list is based on known usage of AS movement families. Compatibility is not guaranteed — always verify diameter, dial feet, stem height, and date alignment.*

I have bought few watches from them and recommend them if you are looking to buy a watch. I as actually able to buy few watches from them that were not listed on their website. Apparently they have a lot of inventory that doesn’t even make it to the website. So if your are looking for vintage watches, you might want email them, if you can’t find it on the site.
Thank you for all the help Raymin.

I am delighted with the vintage watch that I purchased from 'Expert Watches'. It is in exactly the condition that was described with perfect patina. As a customer I could not be more delighted with the service Provided by Raymin. The communication has been
first rate and the way in which, as a first time buyer, I was helped with the details of purchase, transfer of funds and shipping was fantastic. The watch arrived on the other side of the Atlantic, expertly packaged and tracked. All in all I would thoroughly 'Expert Watches' and I will certainly be purchasing again from them to add to my vintage watch collection.
