The Standard 961 watch movement, introduced in 1932, features a pin-lever escapement and is characterized by its straightforward and cost-effective manufacturing process. This movement incorporates various punched wheels, as well as drilled aluminum arbors replaced with piano-string wire instead of engine-turned pivots. It possesses the functions of stem wind and set, along with a sub second display. The Standard 961 movement was used from 1932 onwards.
