Moonphase Gear Ratio
Display-cycle days from moon-disc tooth count and tooth advances per day.
Description
Display-cycle days from moon-disc tooth count and tooth advances per day.
Moonphase Gear Ratio: Display-cycle days from moon-disc tooth count and tooth advances per day.
When to use Moonphase Gear Ratio
Use this horology calculation to interpret a stated watch, clock, timing-machine, water-resistance, alarm, or historical respiratory-timing quantity under its defined convention.
- Disc Teeth
- Required integer input.
- Advances Per Day
- Required number input.
How Moonphase Gear Ratio works
Display-cycle days from moon-disc tooth count and tooth advances per day. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Display Cycle Days (day)
- The resulting display cycle days returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- Mechanical-watch amplitude and beat measurements depend on lift angle, position, state of wind, movement condition, instrument setup, and elapsed sampling. ATM markings are test-pressure classifications rather than literal safe diving depths.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Confirm movement specifications and measure in multiple positions and power states; follow the manufacturer's water-resistance guidance and obtain pressure testing after case service.
