Smooth videography and clear explanations on why the Sellita and ETA movements have become what they are now. With that said, I'm not one to pay too much attention to the movement itself but you made me realise how many watches sitting in my boxes use a similar base. Recently bought a MOP 35mm Tissot PRX to gift my wife and it runs on a Powermatic 80 which is based on the ETA 2824.
came to know about the ETA 2824 movement because of this video! great video indeed, will continue to watch your vids bro, taking abou ETA movement watch, the CALIBER SELLITA SW-200 having the accuracy of +/- 12 seconds per day varies (maximum of +/- 30 sec)
I had no idea how many watch companies use ETA 2824 and SW200 movements to power their watches. Tissot powermatic 80 would be my favorite for sure Great video
The Powermatic 80 CO7-111 uses plastic parts which kinda turned me off to the Tissot watch brand although I dig the Tissot Gentleman Silicium. It still using the older all metal movement.
“Yeahh plastic crap “according to my watch repair guy when he saw my Mido with powermatic 80. I think Japan is a leading country now cuz ordinary nh 35 is arguably the most reliable caliber in the world and very easy to service according again to my watch guy,Seiko 6139 had a massive impact on all future copycats of vertical clutch 6139.Piguet,JLC,Hublot,Omega,Breitling,Tag,Sinn and manny others use vertical clutch.Seiko pioneered quartz and Spring drive so horologically Seiko and Bregeut are more important then all swiss brands and movement makers combined.
Dont cut your self short in the video edit, man. Video edit is not only about cool transisions. Its about keeping the viewer engaged and not skipping along. Your're doing it good. Your videos are really good, both in production and the content. As of the contest; Tudor Heritage Black Bay 36 (79500-0002), black dial brown strap. Using the ETA caliber 2824-2. My latest watch, bought 2nd hand a few days ago was a $60 Timex Q reissue, Stainless Steel/Stainless Steel version with black dial. Couldnt pass at that price, RP around $200 and the watch was like brand new, not even a spec of dust.
Thank you so much!!!!!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to say that. I do photography as a hobby so I have spent a lot of time with a camera in my hand but have always shied away from video. Needless to say that starting this channel is forcing me to learn a lot and really fast so the complement really hits home. Congrats on the Timex find!
@@BlueCollarLuxe I can tell! I quite my job at the factory to chase my dream ten years ago. Got two bachelors, one in photojournalism and one in journalism. Today Im working as a journalist - but still see my self as a blue-collar after nearly 20 years as one :) Keep it up!
Wow, that is awesome, congratulation on having the courage to do that! I think photojournalism sounds like a very cool job. I would think it can be very challenging but also very rewarding.
For those wondering, a standard grade ETA 2824 costs about $100 new, a top grade is about $300. "Chronometer Grade" in the 2824 uses the same parts as top grade but it obviously adjusted in more positions and are also "binned". Meaning the best of the top-grade, which can meet the COSC standards are separated and sold as chronometer grade (usually only to watch companies). Many top grade 2824s meet the COSC standards too, they just aren't guaranteed to do so.
Your comment is 100% fact! There are a tone of watches that meet the standard but forgo the testing so they loos the right to say it. Thank you so much for watching!
This popped up on my feed -and I’m glad. I learned much from it. My Tissot has the ETA movement. I’m also looking at a Christopher Ward and this video helped me understand it’s SW200 movement -and specifically the idea that micros make changes to it, sometimes resulting in a designation that makes it appear in-house. Thank you!
I have been a fan of Ball since the early 2000s, I think I discovered them around 2003. I have owned a few, still own one and gifted one to my son for Christmas three years ago. Great watch!
Nearly bought myself a Hamilton Murph using the H-10 movement this weekend. Decided to wait a little longer before going for it. Another great video, I love coming into a video that has a topic I am familiar with and still learning from it. Thanks for a chance at that Seiko!
This was such a fun video to watch and a surprise to see the same movements equipped in many watches from different brands. Fascinating too how even some variants of the Tudor Black Bay used the ETA movement.
Thanks for the breakdown of these movements, I didn't realize that Sellitas and ETAs were in so many watches on my wish list lol. For example, I have the Tissot LeLocle on my radar as an affordable dressy piece and was pleased to learn that it has the ETA 2824. Seems like a real workhorse movement for the value.
The Sinn 556 I RS has a SW200 in it, and it is a great looking simple watch. It is interesting to see what a wide variety of watches these movements are found in.
I have a few watches with both the ETA-2824 and the SW-200 with my Hamilton being one of them. Thanks for sharing, the opportunity and generosity. Stay blessed and good luck to all.
I have a Zelos Comet with a Sellita 215 (I don't know what the difference is between the SW200 and SW215, but it's probably not much) as my daily wearer, and it's rarely off more than 20 sec. per day. Excellent time keeper for a manual wind.
Really enjoyed this video. My watch interest has definitely started because of the external appearances, but as a mechanical engineer I have started to dive into the pieces that make up different movements. Didn't realize that these workhouse movements were being white labelled by brands, and its super interesting to see that the Hamilton Khaki Murph uses the tried and tested ETA 2824-2 (I know because I looked at the number of jewels lol). Keep up the good work. On an unrelated note, craft coffee has been my main hobby since covid lockdowns so can definitely appreciate the analogy!
Thank you so much for such an awesome comment. Honestly, I kind of feel I put so much info in this video that it became boring so it is nice to know that someone watched the whole thing and was able to without losing attention. Still trying to find my spot where I can inform while still being entertaining enough to keep attention. Hopefully the videos just keep getting better so thank you for watching!
I believe that some Unimatic watches (Modello uno?) use Sellita SW200 movements. Now they also use Seiko NH35A movements, but I am not sure if that movement is at all related or modeled after either the Sellita or ETA2824 movements.
So the movement architecture is the same. The differences are in the materials, testing, certifcation. Like framing the same house out of pine versus oak. Same looking house, but one's posh, the other one is standard. I believe my Glycine Combat Sub uses a SW200 version.
Swatch group brands all use movements branded as "in house" but based off ETA-2824s which is natural considering what you said in the video. I'm a fan of Tissot Seastar's diver designs.
Too many watch brands rely on the ETA2824 but thats good because it makes servicing so much easier hahaha. I'm gonna give a mention to my Certina Action Diver
I have a now discontinued Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic H705450 based on ETA 2824-2 movement. New model uses a revised H.10 movement. Similar but with much higher 80hr power reserve, and sadly slower seconds hand at 3hz vs 4hz as on the 2824-2. I also have my sights on a Ginault Ocean Rover II that uses a Sellita SW200-1 Elabore and they regulate the watch for 6 weeks before shipping. All reviews speak very highly of the watch’s stable accuracy. These are true workhorse movements 💪🏼!
I have commented on this a few times and I am with you, 80 hours is great but some of the brands are slowing the beat rate down to a point the seconds hand looks like a quartz. I have see nothing but good things about Ginault my problem is they are too much of a Sub copy.
As a massive Casio fan i have had only two watches that were based off the ETA 28 movements both are Hamilton the Khaki field automatic and the manual. The only one i still have is Hamilton manual wind Khaki, i would never part with this beauty. Keep up the good work.
Montblanc also uses movements that are based on the SW200. For instance the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic is caliber MB 24.17 which is based on SW200. Quality video btw. Keep em coming :)
I looked up watches with movements based on both the ETA 2824 and the Sellita SW200. The first thing I noticed was, as you pointed out, the large array of watches of all prices that have these movements. But, lucky for me, one of the watches I’ve already had on my wish list has the 2824 movement; that is, the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto. Thanks for another good vid!
It's the new version of the 2824! They've lowered the beat rate, added new alloys,some parts are plastic! I believe they have a free sprung balance unlike the original2824's. they're not like the older mvts that were easier to regulate. You might have to send them back to an authorized service center for routine maintenance cleaning and regulating( the whole movement might be swapped out) The power reserve is much longer though !
The Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst is an awesome looking field watch that uses the Sellita sw200, never realised how many watches used these movements!
Just found your channel, I like it! One of my favorite watches, Ball Marvelight II uses a in house version of the ETA2824 or Sellita 200, I’m not sure which as I have never opened the case, but as you said, it doesn’t really matter!
That is a great watch, thank you so much! Ball uses both ETA and Sellita but my bet would be the Sellita 200 because ETA is owned by the Swatch Group and are not sharing outside the umbrella as much as they use to.
The Sinn 556 has a SW 200 in it and it looks spectacular. A couple of Hamiltons I own have them too and I'm surprised by the difference in price but not the reliability in brands, thanks.
Coffe scene was on point 😂 IMHO I would be more inclined to the Ball Fireman Victory because I don't like any of the current or vintage Breitling watches. A watch that I really love and also uses the ETA 2824-2 it's the Doxa SUB 300.
dude hearing you say how pricey the traditional Breitling Navitimer is felt very real. the time-only you have is what I prefer as well. workhorse movement for a reason
Thanks for covering the ETA 2824 and SW 200 - the Swiss workhorses. Would love to get a Chris Ward c60 Trident Pro 300 - with a SW200 great value for the money!
When I first got interested in watches, I came across the microbrand Maen and their Manhattan 37 watch. The watch allows you to upgrade from a Sellita SW200-1 to a “Top grade version” of that movement. First time I ever heard of the concept of “grading” movements. Cool looking watch too.
Interesting video. I love my Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic; mine is extremely accurate. The original movement was acting up as it was hard to "get it going." Once it finally was running, it was pretty solid, but it did randomly stop a couple of times. I took it to one of the few watchmakers in my area that is authorized to work on Swatch watches and also Rolex. He wanted $350.00 service the watch.....bummer. It's a $500 watch. I contacted Hamilton customer service and they put me in touch with the Swatch service center in Florida. They offered to service it for $270.00. I figured that was just low enough to induce me to not just "deep six" the watch. I'm not sure if they actually serviced it or slapped in a new movement, but it keeps sensational time, picking up 2 or 3 seconds a day. It is, once again, one of my favorite watches.
Thank you for sharing this, 2/3 seconds a day is crazy good. My bet would be that they did a movement replacement because the movement by itself is very inexpensive.
It gets really interesting when the B17 is compared to the SW200 Cosc used in for instance the Formex Essence or the SW300 Cosc used in the CW Twelve Titanium... Difference of both $4k -$4.5k with the Breitling... And the Formex and the CW are also top notch when it comes to finishing etc.
One watch Ive had my eye on for a long time that has the eta 2824 movement, is the tudor 1926. That watch is so smooth and I fell in love with it so long ago. The bracelet is to die for.
I'm totally new to watches and am so much more familiar with japanese movements especially Seiko but didn't realize that the ETA 2824 and the SW 200 were literally everywhere. Anyways I think I'll leave a quote from WOE that sketchy dudes wear breitlings and in that case, the breitlings superocean automatic is pretty sick even if it one day makes me a sketchy dude.
I know that Christopher Ward uses the eta-2824 movement and those are well regarded. Just like a big rig truck having a cummins engine if it’s good and everyone uses it then that’s a big deal
The tag carrera uses the eta 2824-2 movement & it’s a watch that is on my list as I move through my watch collecting journey. Thank you for the educational video!
Tag make some great looking watches and can be picked up at a good deal pre-owned. To be honest I would not suggest buying Tag new. Let the original buyer eat the loss of equity.
You mean this one "Sinn U1 C HAI Fully Tegimented Limited Edition on Silicone Strap" if so, wow what a great pick! Problem is at 3k there are a lot of options to choose from for example, I love IWC but for the price tag that come with them I love a lot of other watches more. The only way I will ever own one is if I get a great deal.
I believe the Tudor Black Bay 41 uses the ETA 2824-2 movement. It's a real classy watch and is on my grail list. I have my DressKX to scratch that itch for now.
It did until 2023 when they went In-House. I have the BB 41 with the anthracite dial on my wrist right now! You can tell the In-House by the text on the dial. If the text is straight, it is In-house and if it is curved it is an ETA movement. These are nicknamed the Smily because the text is shaped like a smile.
Had a look and out of nicer watches including the SW-200 I would have to pick the Eterna Kontiki Automatic Four-Hands 42MM! Might be a bit big for me but it looks amazing.
I think this may be one of my favorite comments because of the choice. Number one I personally really like Eterna and number two and I am not sure if you know this but ETERNA is the company that started ETA movements. They sold ETA to the Swatch Group in the early 80s. So great pick!
I took a look at one recently when I was on a cruise ship and I must say it is a good looking watch. I don't know I can say that I am in love with the idea of slowing the beat rate down so much to get to the 80 hours. I would rather see 50 hours and a smoother sweep on the seconds hand.
I love this watch and really want to add one to the collection but I think it is over priced also a bit large. I would keep an eye out for a preowned that you can save a few bucks on.
Thank you so much, for the complement and the sub! I am a big fan of Tudor, in fact I wear my Black Bay 41 a lot more than the Breitling so great choice!
I love this because it shows how memories can be attached to items. My oldest son, now 29 shares a love of watches with me and we go back and forth over what brand/design we like the most and how our choices are better than each others. He takes stabs at me by saying things like "BREITLING ARE FOR OLD PEOPLE" so I tell him that I am leaving the Breitling to his little brother. My youngest son now turning 21 is starting to find an interest and I know one day I will be gone and maybe they will both have my watches and they remember me and the conversations we had while they wear them. I hope you take great care of that Hamilton one day when it becomes yours! Thank you so much for watching!
Loved ur explanation of the 2 movements. Any info on my watch. It's a Revue Thommen. 26 jewel and + 7 seconds taken over 19 days. Never off my wrist. Keep up the good work..Alex
You may want to make sure you listen for the rules in the video because they change in each one. every video will have something different that you must comment on in order to win.

Thank you so much for the support! SW-200 is a work horse and with a bit of regulating can achieve +/- 4 seconds per day.
Appreciate the knowledge. Currently waiting on a Makita Mephisto III, powered by SW200-1.
I had no idea how many watch companies use ETA 2824 and SW200 movements to power their watches. Tissot powermatic 80 would be my favorite for sure
Great video
Thank you so much!
The Powermatic 80 CO7-111 uses plastic parts which kinda turned me off to the Tissot watch brand although I dig the Tissot Gentleman Silicium. It still using the older all metal movement.
The Gentleman is a great looking watch!
“Yeahh plastic crap “according to my watch repair guy when he saw my Mido with powermatic 80.
I think Japan is a leading country now cuz ordinary nh 35 is arguably the most reliable caliber in the world and very easy to service according again to my watch guy,Seiko 6139 had a massive impact on all future copycats of vertical clutch 6139.Piguet,JLC,Hublot,Omega,Breitling,Tag,Sinn and manny others use vertical clutch.Seiko pioneered quartz and Spring drive so horologically Seiko and Bregeut are more important then all swiss brands and movement makers combined.
Well said! Everyone always forgets Bregeut invented the tourbillon.

I have a Fortis combat 5 with sw200 Excellent movement.
Nice watch!
Great topic and well done video
My most worn watch is the Tissot Powermatic 80
Thank you so much! Great watch!
I didn't realize how many brands use this movement in their watches, but I like Tudor Black Bay the most
Thanks for the informative video
Love the Black Bay! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the lesson mate. I have a Sinn 556i which still has the gold rotor that I love to bits!

Great video mate, my P80 Mido Multifort keeps time insanely well
Thank you so much!
My daily which is a Hamilton Murph has always run amazingly well
I love that watch, wish they made a 40mm version.

The ETA 2824 is great. Nice and reliable beater. The Doxa SUB1000T Professional uses one with a custom rotor and is one of my favorites.
I really like Doxa

Dive watch without bezel markers, kind of strange but cool at the same time.
Was looking at the Mido Commander Chronometer with the blue dial. Beautiful watch for the price ❤
Mido make some very cool watches!
Excellent content 👏 love the breitling also.

Great video. I was surprised to see the Oris Aquis Titanium Date uses the Sellita SW200¡
Thank you so much!!!!!
I love the Folgers instant coffee intro!
Thank you so much!
My father used to wear a Tudor 1926 and even after so many years it hasn't required major servicing
I like that watch a lot!
As a massive Casio fan i have had only two watches that were based off the ETA 28 movements both are Hamilton the Khaki field automatic and the manual. The only one i still have is Hamilton manual wind Khaki, i would never part with this beauty. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for watching! I wouldn't get rid of the Khaki either.
Sinn 556 is great looking watch
Great video my friend
Thank you so much for. the complement and great choice with the 556!
your light blue time only breitling navitimer looks freaking gorgeous!
Thank you so much!!!!
Didn’t know so many watches used the same movement. The Rado D-Star uses the ETA2824 movement
I have a thing for the Captain Cook so good choice on the Rado!
Montblanc also uses movements that are based on the SW200. For instance the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic is caliber MB 24.17 which is based on SW200.
Quality video btw. Keep em coming :)
They got a few crazy dials. Thank you so much for the kind words!

If It's new that's the Powermatic!
I prefer the Non Powermatic movements but the new Tissot Heritage is not Powermatic ! It is a Cosc#2824 Chronometer for around 825.00 MSRP!
@@davidcrandall4958 you’re saying that the Hamilton khaki field auto is no longer 2824?
It's the new version of the 2824! They've lowered the beat rate, added new alloys,some parts are plastic!

Thanks for the giveaway my answer is a Tissot Sideral
Thank you so much!
dude hearing you say how pricey the traditional Breitling Navitimer is felt very real. the time-only you have is what I prefer as well. workhorse movement for a reason
Yeah, Breitling have kinda got crazy with their pricing but then again it seems all the brands have. Thank you so much for watching!
Not just large brands but even microbrands use the ETA caliber 2824. One of them is the Venture from Raven
Spot on, micro-brands have no choice as in-house cost a lot of money to develop and take years to get right!
Thanks for covering the ETA 2824 and SW 200 - the Swiss workhorses.
Would love to get a Chris Ward c60 Trident Pro 300 - with a SW200 great value for the money!
Love the c60, thank you for watching!
(for the giveaway - Hamilton Expedition) Checking the number of jewels to differentiate the movement base is helpful advice!
Thank you so much for watching!
When I first got interested in watches, I came across the microbrand Maen and their Manhattan 37 watch. The watch allows you to upgrade from a Sellita SW200-1 to a “Top grade version” of that movement. First time I ever heard of the concept of “grading” movements. Cool looking watch too.
I just took a look and they got some great looking dials!
The Hamilton Khali Field Auto is in my wishlist at the moment and it’s neat the H-10 calibre movement used in it is modified from an ETA 2824 movement
Great watch! Thank you for watching!
Interesting video. I love my Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic; mine is extremely accurate. The original movement was acting up as it was hard to "get it going." Once it finally was running, it was pretty solid, but it did randomly stop a couple of times. I took it to one of the few watchmakers in my area that is authorized to work on Swatch watches and also Rolex. He wanted $350.00 service the watch.....bummer. It's a $500 watch. I contacted Hamilton customer service and they put me in touch with the Swatch service center in Florida. They offered to service it for $270.00. I figured that was just low enough to induce me to not just "deep six" the watch. I'm not sure if they actually serviced it or slapped in a new movement, but it keeps sensational time, picking up 2 or 3 seconds a day. It is, once again, one of my favorite watches.
Thank you for sharing this, 2/3 seconds a day is crazy good. My bet would be that they did a movement replacement because the movement by itself is very inexpensive.
Love my Hamilton Khaki Field watch
Thanks for the video and thanks for the giveaway
Lot of history with Hamilton! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the content, man.
Thank you for watching!
It gets really interesting when the B17 is compared to the SW200 Cosc used in for instance the Formex Essence or the SW300 Cosc used in the CW Twelve Titanium... Difference of both $4k -$4.5k with the Breitling... And the Formex and the CW are also top notch when it comes to finishing etc.
I just did a video on the Christopher Ward Twelve with the SW 300. Great watch!
Certina DS Action Diver is one of my favorites from my collection
And Swatch Group strikes again! Thank you for watching!
Some really cool watches by Laco and Sinn use the SW200. Definitely on the "get it" list.
Thanks!
Laco are making some cool pieces and the are affordable! Thank you for watching!
A hot cup of coffee always works wonders with a good watch on the wrist. Like the Breitling Navitimer you have on buddy!
A good glass a bourbon does as well! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
One watch Ive had my eye on for a long time that has the eta 2824 movement, is the tudor 1926. That watch is so smooth and I fell in love with it so long ago. The bracelet is to die for.
And priced very well to carry the Tudor name!
Tissot Le Locle - one of my first watches since entering the rabbit hole
My Son has one, very nice looking watch!
I'm totally new to watches and am so much more familiar with japanese movements especially Seiko but didn't realize that the ETA 2824 and the SW 200 were literally everywhere. Anyways I think I'll leave a quote from WOE that sketchy dudes wear breitlings and in that case, the breitlings superocean automatic is pretty sick even if it one day makes me a sketchy dude.
That is funny, well done!
Oris Aquis is great watch
It is nice but not my style, I rather go with the diver65
Keep seeing Sinn mentioned with good reason. Their EZM9 model also uses an SW-200.
Sinn is killing it. If they see all these comments they are likely to raise their prices, lol.
I know that Christopher Ward uses the eta-2824 movement and those are well regarded. Just like a big rig truck having a cummins engine if it’s good and everyone uses it then that’s a big deal
I am a big fan of Christopher Ward! Thank you for watching!
The tag carrera uses the eta 2824-2 movement & it’s a watch that is on my list as I move through my watch collecting journey. Thank you for the educational video!
Tag make some great looking watches and can be picked up at a good deal pre-owned. To be honest I would not suggest buying Tag new. Let the original buyer eat the loss of equity.
@@BlueCollarLuxethat’s great to know! Thanks for the tip 🙌
My pleasure!
The Sinn U1 uses a SW 200-1. Nice way to start a video btw. Now I need another coffee, cheers.
You mean this one "Sinn U1 C HAI Fully Tegimented Limited Edition on Silicone Strap" if so, wow what a great pick! Problem is at 3k there are a lot of options to choose from for example, I love IWC but for the price tag that come with them I love a lot of other watches more. The only way I will ever own one is if I get a great deal.
@@BlueCollarLuxe Yupp, that's the one. Also check out the sold out limited edition U1W with inverted colors.
Great Watch!
I believe the Tudor Black Bay 41 uses the ETA 2824-2 movement. It's a real classy watch and is on my grail list. I have my DressKX to scratch that itch for now.
It did until 2023 when they went In-House. I have the BB 41 with the anthracite dial on my wrist right now! You can tell the In-House by the text on the dial. If the text is straight, it is In-house and if it is curved it is an ETA movement. These are nicknamed the Smily because the text is shaped like a smile.
Tudor Black Bay is a beauty
Yes, yes and yes!
My Christopher Ward C63 Sealander uses a Sellita SW200 and it runs like a beast.
I think I may pick one up for myself!
Oris uses a lot of it and my pick is their Divers Sixty-Five
My favorite Oris!
I got one you probably never heard of 😂
The Aragon Hercules Meteorite Swiss, which uses the Ronda R150😎
You got me on this one but I did take a look. Great looking dials, cool bracelet and very affordable!
I absolutely adore my Glycine Airman that has it
Priced right, also!
Had a look and out of nicer watches including the SW-200 I would have to pick the Eterna Kontiki Automatic Four-Hands 42MM! Might be a bit big for me but it looks amazing.
I think this may be one of my favorite comments because of the choice. Number one I personally really like Eterna and number two and I am not sure if you know this but ETERNA is the company that started ETA movements. They sold ETA to the Swatch Group in the early 80s. So great pick!
The Tissot Powermatic 80 is such a gorgeous watch that I know I'll have to buy one day
I took a look at one recently when I was on a cruise ship and I must say it is a good looking watch. I don't know I can say that I am in love with the idea of slowing the beat rate down so much to get to the 80 hours. I would rather see 50 hours and a smoother sweep on the seconds hand.
Very informative video!
Thank you so much, I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Tudor heritage BB all the way🎉
Great pick but only pre 2023 because they went to an In-House movement in 2023
Legend Diver mentioned gives a huge smile to my face 👌🏻🥹
Hard to beat Longines in their price point!
I love my Tissot Powermatic 80 with ETA 2824 movement
Great watch!
Breitling Superocean 48, wish everyone goodluck 🍀
Awesome watch but that is a monster and you got to be a big dude to pull it off. I'm 250lbs with a 7.5" wrist and that thing way to big on me.
Thanks for the giveaway
My answer is Certina DS Podium
Certina has been getting a fair share of love in the comment!
I found out that Oris uses the sellita SW200 movement for their Aquis watches and renamed them the caliber 733
Oris use this movement in quite a few watches!
Baume & Mercier Riviera (an underrated gem)
Underrated brand!
Reading through the comments I see a few mentions of Tag Heuer Aquaracer but their Carrera line is also equipped with ETA 2824
Carrera has got some love for sure!
i love my Tissot prx with a Powermatic 80 which is based on the ETA 2824.
Very popular pick!
I like the Oris Aquis
I like the Oris Diver65 a bit more.
Great video mate
I like Hamilton Expedition
It is nice but I still think I would go with the MURPH
More than the giveaway your info are valuable
Sinn 556 I RS
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate that!
Hamilton Khaki Field Murph has been on my wish list for a while now but I still haven't pulled the trigger
I love this watch and really want to add one to the collection but I think it is over priced also a bit large. I would keep an eye out for a preowned that you can save a few bucks on.
Sinn 556 is an awesome watch
I need to check one out because of all the positive comment.
New subscriber here, my friend sent me
I must say your Brietling is stunner but Tudor Black Bay with ETA2824 movement is just amazing watch
Thank you so much, for the complement and the sub! I am a big fan of Tudor, in fact I wear my Black Bay 41 a lot more than the Breitling so great choice!
My favorite doxa 600T use sellita 200 lovely time piece!
Doxa make some cool watches for sure, I'd even go for the 200T!
Tag Heuer Carrera is one of the eta 2824 watches. 👍
Good pick!
Breitling Superocean uses it!
Icon of a watch!
My grandfather owns an Oris military automatic watch with 2824 movement, it's the only watch he owns and he wears it every day on all occasions
I love this because it shows how memories can be attached to items. My oldest son, now 29 shares a love of watches with me and we go back and forth over what brand/design we like the most and how our choices are better than each others. He takes stabs at me by saying things like "BREITLING ARE FOR OLD PEOPLE" so I tell him that I am leaving the Breitling to his little brother. My youngest son now turning 21 is starting to find an interest and I know one day I will be gone and maybe they will both have my watches and they remember me and the conversations we had while they wear them. I hope you take great care of that Hamilton one day when it becomes yours! Thank you so much for watching!
Loved ur explanation of the 2 movements.
Any info on my watch.
It's a Revue Thommen. 26 jewel and + 7 seconds taken over 19 days. Never off my wrist. Keep up the good work..Alex
Thank you so much Alex! Revue Thommen is new to me but I would say 7 seconds over 19 days is pretty impressive.
Sorry I miss wrote that. It should have said 7 seconds per day ovr 19 days.
That changes things a bit
Yeah, that kinda changes it just a bit, lol! But you do realize, that is only a few seconds off from a watch that has COSC certification
awesome i want the seiko 5 to rotate along my hamilton khaki field
It would feel like a tank after wearing the Khaki
The Breitling Navitimer pistachio dial is my grail watch
I would not call it my grail but I love it as well!
Entering The Giveway Within Time Limit Is amazing
