The power reserve on a cal.3135 is 50 hours (or there about.)

The movement is the driver for power reserve, not the watch model...

If you have an earlier 3035, slower beat movement, it does not have as large a mainspring and, therefore, a bit less power reserve.. All midsize and ladies models have a 35 hr reserve.

Hey, Larry, I have a 1987 16013 with a 3035. I believe it runs at 28,800 bph, so what's its power reserve?

By the way, I thought all 3035 movements were 28,800. Am I that not correct? Thanks.

Correct the Cal 3035 from 1977 is a 28800 BPH movement and should have a power reserve of around 39-46 approx.But as the spring barrel wears slightly power reserve would drop slightly.

Any watchmaker can pop the caseback for you.

As far as the power reserve, why don't you just let it run down, (from manually fully wound) and you'll be the first to know?
