Works for log cabins, it has to work for watch crystals. 
UT = Universal Time = Seiko (Views: 22)

Back in the day, "Made in Japan" didn't exactly sound good to North American buyers.
Seiko
sold ebauches to other companies under the named Universal Time Co
(just to confuse everyone, there is a DIFFERENT Universal which I think
was Durowe after the Swiss Ebauche group bought it. Durowe was a German
movement maker that the Swiss bought to get easy access to the German
market.)
Anyway ... UT 29 = Sportsman = Seiko 66

Unichron, as all watch enthusiasts know, was the short lived venture
into watch manufacturing by the Mormon church back in the late
sixties/early seventies. The "UT", of course, is their tribute to the
land they call home, Utah. The Utah caliber 29 was legendary for its
workmanlike finish, and for the fact that you could marry it to parts
from other watch movements... lots and lots of other watch movements.
Some say I know too much watch history, but I'm always glad to share. You might even say it's big o' me!

Always a pleasure to watch a man who knows what his job is, and does it in a journeyman style.

After reading this, that movement's regulator does look decidedly Japanese (n/t) (Views: 8)

It is a little beauty Ricky, such a classic look. Is it a Citizen?

That movement reeks A.Schild (post WWII) 1960's ??? -- somewhere in the 10xx calibers >>> (Views: 14)

I was thinking Unitas from the UT . . . but think that it's Unichron
giving its own caliber number for the movement with a signed bridge.
The clues are the layout of the wheel trains . . . some of the bridge
work . . . and a couple visible mounting points. If it is an AS, it
should be quite durable and very reliable. AS did a lot of ebauches in
their heyday.

Apparently it's a Seiko product, based on the 66B movement.. (Views: 12)
Ricky Lee -- March 28, 2009 04:12PM
We discussed it a couple of weeks ago in this thread. (see above)
I haven't tried to independently verify this info, but the side-by-side photos make a powerful argument...

You're right... that is a gorgeous movement. (n/t) (Views: 12)

Cool as it is, this one may find its way to the Seiko/Citizen sales forum.
