	The movement in the sterile 6BB has been identified as being based on the A.Schilds AS 2160 17 jewel manual wind, 28,800 bph, but with a micrometer type of adjuster replacing the normal regulator. The micro adjuster appears to be very similar to that used on the Valjoux 7750 movement.

			It also has a hacking mechanism rarely seen in the AS movement and thought to be specially made for this watch.

It’s cousins, the Hamilton and CWC tonneau-shaped W10 General Service watches are well-known and easily identified.
