Complete technical documentation pack for the RONDA caliber 517 quartz movement, a multifunction analog watch movement in the xtratech line. It is written mainly in German, with repeated French and English technical labels, and serves as a combined product sheet, dimensional reference, assembly guide, and service manual. At a high level, the document describes a 11½''' Swiss quartz movement with three hands, date, and day display, designed for reliable everyday watch applications and for relatively easy servicing thanks to its repairable metal construction. The opening pages emphasize its practical strengths: a strong step motor, quick correction for day and date, interchangeability with other RONDA 11½''' movements of the same height, and an energy-saving mode that reduces current consumption by about 70% when the stem is pulled out. The movement is offered in Swiss Made and Swiss Parts versions, both with one jewel, and supports battery life of roughly 45 months with a standard cell and 60 months with a higher-capacity battery.
The document then moves into precise engineering specifications. It states the movement diameter as 26.00 mm, seating diameter 25.60 mm, and total height 3.00 mm, with a stem height of 1.50 mm. Performance targets include an accuracy of –10 / +20 seconds per month, operating temperature from 0 to 50°C, and typical current consumption around 1.28 µA when the calendar is not engaged. Battery references are also specified clearly: 371 for the standard battery and 395 for the higher battery version, both at 1.5 V. These details make the file useful not just for designers, but also for case manufacturers, repair technicians, and quality-control teams who need exact tolerances and compatibility data.
A major portion of the PDF is made up of technical drawings and dial-layout variants. The diagrams on pages 3–19 show case-side and dial-side geometry, stem dimensions, battery clearances, hand-fitting heights, and many possible placements for the day and date windows. Several pages illustrate alternative dial openings, such as horizontal day-date windows, separated day and date displays, arched day windows, and vertical arrangements. These pages are especially valuable for watch designers because they translate the movement’s raw specifications into concrete dial and casing options.
The final section functions as a watchmaker’s technical manual. It includes crown-position instructions for setting time and correcting calendar indications, exploded assembly views for both movement side and dial side, spare-part references, lubrication notes, electrical test values, and stem-removal guidance. The last page also specifies inspection values such as coil resistance, power consumption, and hand-setting force limits. Overall, this file is much more than a brochure: it is a full engineering and servicing reference for anyone designing, assembling, casing, testing, or repairing watches built around the RONDA 517/517S movement.
