Seiko DiaFix Cap Jewel / Bearing Jewel (受石 / Cap Jewel) – Ladies' Caliber 4L (comp. 5S / 5B / 5VE / 6SI.S / 6FA) (1 piece) – NOS
Original Seiko cap jewel / endstone (受石 / Cap Jewel, Endstone) for the DiaFix system from new old stock (NOS). This listing is for a single piece, removed from an original "SEIKO DIA FIX" packet.
DiaFix is Seiko's own mounting system for cap jewels at the pivots of the going train – typically on the escapement wheel (balance wheel) and third wheel pivots. The cap jewel (受石) is held by a spring-loaded DiaFix mount over the hole jewel, creating a defined oil reservoir at the pivot, which improves lubrication and smooth running. DiaFix was considered a quality feature of high-end Seiko movements from the 1960s/70s (e.g., King/Grand Seiko, where it was installed at numerous pivot points).
