Miyota 8218 caliber: dimensions and drop-in group

Used in: a day-date 8200 member, in entry automatics that show the weekday.

A day-date 8200-family caliber at 26.00 mm x 5.67 mm, sharing the 8205's day-and-date layout and the family footprint. It drops into an 8200-series case with a matching day-date dial.

Drop-in group: Miyota 8200 footprint, day-date (26.00 mm x 5.67 mm). Matching diameter and height is necessary but not sufficient. A donor is only a true drop-in when the dial-foot positions, hand-hole sizes, stem length and calendar layout also match. Two movements can share a case and still need a new dial, re-broached hands or a cut-to-length stem.
