I have this watch, which of course, is inoperative. I've searched on-line, including Citizen's site and have been unable to find an operating manual. The rechargeable battery in it is marked MT920, but marked on the inside of the back cover is to use only battery 295-29. Can someone steer me in the direction of a manual for this caliber movement? Thanks, Dan

Getting into the details of this Citizen movement...there is inscribed on the back of the movement "coil spring", near the center of the movement...but no coil spring is present. I have not replaced the power cell yet, but ask would the lack of this spring cause the movement to be inoperative? I've seen this on a few other movements, but was never sure of the purpose of the spring, except perhaps to make an electrical connection to the back plate. Any advice would be appreciated.

Like many others that have that little spring in them that is used for either .... Contact ,
For Buzzer or Alarms. But if it shows in the ...... PDF then you probably need one.
Note:
The Citizens Wingman Watch's have them in there also. This one is installed by just pressing it
in and it locks.
Aqualand C-Series have them also for the ...Alarms.
It is next to the Top Battery on the left side.
_____________________________________
This is your movement with the ....... Spring at the top.
Possibly you might be able to use one from a .....Parts Wingman Movement if found.

Maybe you could make one for it.If you look closely at it it has a smaller Coil Bottom to
I would say like the WingMan to .... Press Fit On.
Try to copy the WingMan picture I posted and it just might work.
Note:
I made this replacement one for my in the Top Picture for ....... My Wingman Watch and it works.
