Abstract

A watch movement is disclosed which is capable of being equipped either with or without a calendar mechanism without the need for structural modification of the movement. The setting lever spring of the unit is formed by a linear arm of the guard plate and provided with a head having a front and rear edge each with two opposite ramps arranged to cooperate with a pin to fix the spring in a different position depending on whether or not the movement is to be equipped with a calendar mechanism.
