This movement shown here is a completely unknown (even to the literature) and simple pin lever movement, marked as "OC 1" or "OC Cal. R.1" inside. It has got no shock protection and only two jewels. And as you can see on the picture on the left, the hairspring regulator is bent in such a large "U" shape, that an effective regulation of absolutely impossible.
