The Hamilton Caliber 980 is an American-made, 14/0-size manual-wind mechanical movement produced between 1934 and 1951. Built with a distinct tonneau (barrel) shape, it was specifically tailored to power Hamilton's rectangular and tank-style wristwatches. It features 17 jewels, a traditional Swiss lever escapement, a balance wheel oscillating at 18,000 bph, an overcoil Breguet hairspring, and a sub-seconds complication at the 6 o’clock position. It has a 45-hour power reserve, the 980 served as Hamilton's workhorse mid-tier rectangular caliber, finished with nickel plating and Geneva stripes.

Introduced in 1954 for the Tru-Beat reference 6556, the Rolex Calibre 1040 is a 26-jewel, 18,000 bph automatic movement derived directly from the Calibre 1030 base. Engineered specifically for medical professionals to measure pulse rates accurately, it features an integrated dead-beat seconds (seconde morte) complication. A secondary escapement wheel and whip mechanism store mechanical energy and release the central seconds hand in precise, discrete one-second jumps rather than a continuous sweep. Because its specialized dead-beat components suffered high wear and Rolex eventually ceased parts production, watchmakers routinely removed the mechanism during routine servicing to convert them back into standard running 1030s—making intact, operational Calibre 1040 movements exceptionally rare today
