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.
