No idea, have never bought one or put it in!
All I know is that the movements are very sensitive to over voltage and certain batteries that fit will fry it.

Quote... Many 214s will start spontaneously when a new battery is installed but some will not. Over the years the permanent magnets on the tips of your tuning fork may have lost some of their strength. If this is the case you will need to jump-start the movement. A sharp smack with the palm or knuckles of your hand at the 3 or 9 oclock position should cause the tuning fork to start to vibrate. Once started the watch will perform normally until the battery dies.

http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_accucell1.htm popped this in last night as it was a bit "gainy" finally had the cajones to pop the cover and it had a 394 in it which was 1.5v wheras it should be 1.35v to be correct. SBC were an excellent company to deal with, and quick. I had to give the watch the "flick" to get the tuning fork going again, but I'll swear it actually sounds better with the correct battery.

Is it the funny shaped battery that old compact cameras take? The one shaped like a battery stuck on top of another battery? Or merely something with a weird voltage?
