The present invention relates to an electronic wristwatch having a gear with a non-magnetic coating formed on its surface. Conventionally, gears used in wristwatches have had a nickel coating 2 formed on the surface of a gear base 1 to improve corrosion resistance and surface strength, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. Alternatively, as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2, a gold film 3 was further formed on the surface of the nickel film to improve appearance and lubricity. The nickel film shown in FIG. 2 was applied as a base to prevent gold from diffusing into the gear 1. However, since these nickel coatings are magnetic, as shown in FIG. When the gap t between the magnets 6 becomes smaller, the gear 5 is attracted toward the magnet by the magnetic force of the magnet 6, and the rotational resistance of the gear increases, which prevents the gear from rotating normally, causing the clock to run late or stop. It had a drawback. In particular, the surface magnetic flux density of the magnet is 200
~350 Gauss, and the effect is large when the gap t is 0.2 mm or less, which has been a major obstacle in the production of electronic wristwatches. The present invention aims to eliminate the drawback that the gear 5 is attracted to the magnet 6, and to ensure normal operation of the electronic wristwatch regardless of the size of the gap between the gear and the magnet. The present invention provides an electronic wristwatch that has a rotor with a magnet and a gear that meshes with the rotor.By forming a single layer or multilayer non-magnetic coating on the surface of the gear, the gear is prevented from being attracted by the magnetic force of the magnet. The increase in rotational resistance can be prevented and the above problems have been solved. This will be explained below using examples. Example 1 FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a gear according to the present invention, where 1 is a non-magnetic gear base, 7 is a gear base with a phosphorus content of 10
~15% non-magnetic nickel-phosphorus alloy coating.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between parts in the present invention, where 4 is a rotor, 6 is a magnet with a surface magnetic flux density of 200 to 350 Gauss, and 8 is a gear on which a non-magnetic film is formed. t is the gap between the gear 8 and the magnet 6, and the operation of the electronic wristwatch according to the present invention when the gap t is changed, as well as the operation of the conventional electronic wristwatch using the gear 5 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. The operation is shown in Table 1. Example 2 FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a gear according to the present invention, where 1 is a gear base made of a non-magnetic material, and 7 is a phosphorus content of 10.
~15% non-magnetic nickel-phosphorus alloy film, 3 is a non-magnetic gold film. This gear was used as gear 8 in the relational diagram of FIG. 6, and other aspects were the same as in Example 1. As a result of investigating the operation of the electronic wristwatch according to the present invention and the operation of the conventional electronic wristwatch,
The results were exactly the same as in Table 1.

[Table] In addition, nickel alloys with a phosphorus content of 10 to 15% are
Since it has an amorphous or amorphous-like structure, this film not only has the above effects but also has excellent corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance. In the above embodiments, a single layer of nonmagnetic nickel-phosphorus alloy film and a double layer of nonmagnetic nickel-phosphorus alloy film and gold film were described as the nonmagnetic film, but tin film and copper film may also be used. Needless to say, similar results can be obtained with single-layer or multilayer non-magnetic coatings such as palladium coatings, palladium alloy coatings, rhodium coatings, etc. As described above, according to the present invention, by forming a single-layer or multi-layer non-magnetic coating on the surface of a gear that meshes with a rotor having magnets, the gear is prevented from being attracted in the direction of the magnet by the magnetic force of the magnet. , regardless of the size of the gap between the gear and the magnet.
It has the effect of ensuring normal operation of the electronic wristwatch, and the single-layer or multi-layer non-magnetic coating forms an amorphous or amorphous-like structure of a nickel alloy containing 10 to 15% phosphorus. It has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and has the effect of maintaining normal operation for a long time.
