Remarks: Large barrel movement for use in rectangular watches. One point of interest about the movement is the front click. The plain MST 321 has a combined barrel and centre bridge. The MST 322 is a dressed up version with what appears to be a seperate escape cock and train bridge (but isn't). However, the real joy is in the dummy ratchet and crown wheels, which are housed in a modified barrel bridge with geneva stripes. These wheels do rotate as the watch is wound, but are 100% redundant, with the winding function performed by the rocker bar mechanism on the front of the movement. The idea here is to make the movement appear upto-date, modern and better quality than it was. Inca block is listed as an option for this calibre - although I have never seen one.
