Frontier Modules

[abem]

I've been trying to locate a Frontier module, preferably a 1602 with the sparkly dot style display, but a 1603 would be ok also.

Does anyone have an extensive list of the watches that used the Frontier modules? For a start, we have:
1) Hamilton QED II
2) Omega Constellation
3) Frontier branded LED watches
4) AMI

Anyone know what others had Frontier inside?

Just seen an Acousticon model just sell on EBay which claims to have a Frontier module.

But you understand you can't just drop #1 or 2 into cases such as #3 &4, or visa-versa? The button travel distances and the diameters of the movement bodies are a few 1/10 of a mm. different, and the normal Frontier modules are 1.5-2.5 mm thicker, depending on the Frontier movement at issue. The Hamilton Omega movements are all about the same, 6 mm. * There are some HAmilton movements from the very end of the era, that are different and not Frontier made - blue face, clear body...won't workwell in anything but certain Hamilton cases, and you can't swap the circuit board out.

Ed,

Could you use the plastic carrier from a Hamilton or Omega Frontier module together with a new Frontier circuit board and display from another module?

Exactly - I have explained this before,take a search. The only problem is the trimmer usually. The Hamilton/Omega used a smaller diameter trimmer. You have to shave a little plastic out inside. Super GLue Control Gel...small dots at a few spots along the lip. THey never snap together that tight any more.
