There's only one elephant in the room and it talks.....
In fact, Breitling would purchase ebauche 2824-2 movements from ETA and have them modified inhouse as Breitlings own movements, of Breitling standard. Around 2010 however, Breitling started to make their own all inhouse movements due to ebauche supply shortages. In reality one could argue that the Super Ocean Heritage movement only is half an ETA movement.
If there is one thing that is constant in life it is the quality of Archie's videos....
The ETA movements in Breitling, Longines, Omega, IWC, Chopard, Chronoswiss, Heuer and the likes, apart of being well finished and accurate (out of the box) ... have one major advantage over any in house movement. When your watch manufacturer's warranty expires ... every idiot can service it and repair it. The Breitling service of the watch with ETA2824-2 (B17) movement, costs around £750.00 (US$1000 ?). Your local watchmaker would charge you for service £150.00 (US$200.00 ?) + parts.
As ETA2824-2, ETA2892-A2 and variations of ETA7750 movents, used in majority of Swiss made watches, are several decades old designs, you are guaranteed reliability, longevity and serviceability for decades to come.
Nothing wrong with an ETA movement. In house movements? To me it means more expensive to have serviced.
Agreed. In-house movements aren't any better than ETA, in some cases worse.
AGREED! In many “cases” eta movements are more reliable. And yes, some of the in-house movements cost dumb money to service. Talking four figures to have a watch serviced. I don’t know about other people but if I spend 2-10K on a watch, I don’t feel like paying $800 every four or five years for a fuckin SERVICE. Dumb dumb dumb.
watch some recent Archie videos and find out he now says eta is a crappy generic mvt...(it all depends what you can afford hey?) people mix up a basic eta and a "top" grade eta with superior spring and balance metals: that's what poeple need to know
the movement is the least of this watch's problems
Agree the real problem is the wearer....
I’m now questioning any of Archie’s watches he’s “owned”, I think this is all an act
Dont talk about Tudor movements when its the ETA question, don't press your face against the camera lense, don't scream too much... otherwise great video! keep doing them
Should have purchased a Seiko!
The vast majority of customers doesn't even have the slightest clue about movements they probably buy watches considering only aestethics and the allure swiss watches have. That's what the shrewd chocolate-eaters know well, they make a livin on that.
Watch is chronometer certified so they didn't just install 2824 and call it a day. There are many other brands in this price range or even higher uses ETA or similar and they don't even bother with COSC bullshit.
Dont forget all rolex cases were supplied by genex and rolex was always outsourced movements until 2004 !

Guys I’m seriously thinking about purchasing Archie’s Breitling, but I’m not sure how difficult it will be to sanitize the mesh bracelet?
Max Carter naptha.
All automatic movements the same in house outhouse does not matter it's outdated .
Dont know why this is a big deal as Tudor, IWC, Tag, Omega, Hublot, Cartier, Buti, Frank Mueller, Oris, Chopard, Panerai , B&R, the list goes [infact the majority of swiss brands including uber priced brands) has used ebauches from eta/sellita/valjoux/ unitas/soprod. Even the Iwc grand complication upwards of $200k used valjoux as a base.. until the "in-house buzz" that everyone and their mother is jumping on.
most companies are doing due to lack of supply and marketing purposes.. the fact is most "inhouse"besides those who has been making inhouses since the inception (JLC, zenith) have no experience, are not proven, often rushed to the market, and not serviceable by anyone besides the manufacturer who may or may not seize to exist or make the movement in the future.
in houses are ONLY great if made by a competent manufacture who has mastered the art
Besides that I rather have a proven workhorse that I know will be serviceable.
Example, I had to send back my Tudor BB GMT due to movement glitch..
My Seiko Alpinist has an in house movement and is rated at 20 bar...."now what do you think of that fucker ?" Is it still a shiter ? Lol
All this story to justify the fact that you approve watch powered by non in house after having spitting on it for many videos ... AC3 = non consistency.
One last thing regarding Tudor, eta is part of their dna as Tudor was suppose to be the cheaper version of the Rolex ... Which was not the fact for Breitling and Tag heuer who were just looking to cut corners with generic movements to sell watch for premium without having to invest to develop in house movement.
The definition of a white elephant would be something that is very expensive, and totally pointless/useless.
Iconic? Breitling is known for pilot watches...end of story
listening to you from Ireland & UK Archie aka Paul Pluta we love listening to you as you are a great super you tube personality!
That Breitling is also a certified chronometer. Its not the same 2824-2 that's in a phucking piece of shit turd Squaleee.
Holly shit! The Swiss watch industry is so messy now ... I would not spend my money in this shirt! Iconic dive watch?
Super bad lume, cheap Seiko kill that BREITLING diver lume.
Are you interested in horology or are you just into spending/wasting money on watches
ETA is a perfectly fine movement. It's the watch that sucks - with ETA or Tudor. The iconic divers are Rolex, Blancpain & Omega. Even with a Rolex movement in it, this watch is no good. It is not about the movement.
Will_NE sent me
Tell Will_NE that we want a collaboration video. Happy New Year!
My Steinhart OVM is also 2824-2 .... Hence Breightling is overpriced
Yes, but the Breitling ETA is (or rather was) exclusively made for Breitling !
Dont eat too much Lindt swiss chocolate
Too late !
SHIIITTTEERR!!!!
does anyone own a watch without ETA bet all the Invicta divers of guys in this channel and that's a Brightling hell the bands 1k its self / all the Rolex have ETA's I bet
Jeff Bankston what the fuck are you yapping about? Rolex doesn’t use ETAs in any of their watches.
Who really knows?
Desperately trying to RATIONALISE A SHITTER arch? BUY A DECENT WATCH. Patek or Lange are the real collectors choice. All these shitters are mass produced factory made brand name shitters.
lol Breitling is far from being "high-end". I have nothing against ETA or Breitling (Yes, I have Super Ocean Heritage 42 in my collection), but to borrow Archie's words, it is a shitter.
