ETA is the world’s largest movement manufacturer of finished and semi-finished movements, and it can be regarded as the best watch movement manufacturer in the world. Its history can be back to the end of the 18th century. They produce automatic and quartz movements. ETA is formed by the merger and acquisition of multiple movement factories, including the famous Adolf Schild (AS), Valjoux, Unitas, etc.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
In recent years, ETA has limited third-party supply to protect Swatch Group brands, but some movements, like the 2824-2 and 2892-A2, are still obtainable through authorized distributors.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n In 2002, Swatch Group announced that ETA will stop supplying external basic movements and components from 2006 (the Swatch Group\u2019s own brand will not be included).<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Diese Ank\u00fcndigung sorgte f\u00fcr Aufruhr, da viele Uhrenmarken seit fast 20 Jahren ETA-Uhrwerke verwenden. Daher bildeten einige Uhrenmarken eine Allianz, um die Swatch Group zu verklagen, und beschuldigten sie des Monopols.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Finally, the Swiss Competition Commission and Swatch Group finally reached an agreement. The agreement stipulates that ETA will supply mechanical movements until December 31, 2019. In 2014 and 2015, ETA will supply 75% of the sales volume between 2009 and 2011, and this number will be in 2016 and 2017. To 65%, compared to 55% in 2018 and 2019″.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Daher beginnen viele Uhrenmarken, ihre eigenen Uhrwerke oder Quellenalternativen zu ETA zu produzieren, worauf wir sp\u00e4ter noch eingehen werden.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n ETA 2824-2<\/strong> \u2013 A workhorse automatic movement used by many brands.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n ETA 2892-A2<\/strong> \u2013 A premium, thinner automatic movement often found in luxury watches.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n ETA 7750<\/strong> \u2013 A widely used chronograph movement.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Originally an assembler for ETA movements, Sellita started producing its own movements in 2003. Many of its calibers closely resemble ETA\u2019s, making it a top alternative for brands that once depended on ETA.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Due to the relationship with ETA, the SW movement produced by Sellita is basically a “replica” of the ETA movement. Sellita’s movement has 5 series and dozens of models, but there are three main models: SW200 imitating ETA2824, SW300 imitating ETA2892, and SW500 imitating ETA7750. Since the supply of movements is not always consistent, some watch manufacturers explicitly offer models with ETA\u00a0or\u00a0Sellita movements, depending on the current market situation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Wie ETA unterteilt Sellita die Bewegungen in vier verschiedene Klassen, aus denen verschiedene Verbraucher ausw\u00e4hlen k\u00f6nnen. Derzeit ist Sellita in der Schweiz der gr\u00f6\u00dfte Ersatz f\u00fcr ETA-Uhrwerke, und viele Marken haben nach und nach auf Sellita-Uhrwerke umgestellt, da ETA die Lieferung an andere Uhrenmarken eingestellt hat. Die Qualit\u00e4t der Sellita-Bewegung kann garantiert werden. Weil die wichtigsten Teile seiner Bewegung (Spirale, Hemmung) von Nivarox stammen, die auch die ETA beliefern.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n SW200<\/strong> \u2013 Equivalent to ETA 2824-2.<\/p>\r\n SW300<\/strong> \u2013 Similar to ETA 2892.<\/p>\r\n SW500<\/strong> \u2013 A replacement for ETA 7750.<\/p>\r\n Brands using Sellita: Oris, TAG Heuer, IWC, Sinn, Raymond Weil<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Soprod war auch ein Gie\u00dfereihersteller von ETA. Sie k\u00f6nnen gut polieren, plattieren, hochwertige Teile ersetzen und Funktionsmodule \u00fcberlagern. Es ist auch ein Unternehmen, das stark auf ETA angewiesen ist.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Gegenw\u00e4rtig unterscheidet sich das eigene Uhrwerk A10, bei dem es sich um ein Grundwerk handelt, von ETA und Sellita hinsichtlich der Feinabstimmung des Ger\u00e4ts und der Balance-Br\u00fccke. Daher k\u00f6nnen Sie es leicht am Design erkennen. A10 richtet sich haupts\u00e4chlich an die Klasse ETA 2892. Alle A10-Uhrwerke werden gem\u00e4\u00df den Top-Standards der ETA-Uhrwerke hergestellt.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Die j\u00e4hrliche Produktion von Soprod-Bewegungen ist jedoch gering und liegt bei etwa 100.000. Marken wie OWC, Sinn und Doxas verwenden Soprod-Bewegungen.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n TP stands for \u201cSwiss Technology Production\u201d. Opened in around 2008 and wholly owned by the Fossil Group. STP produces mechanical movements for both Fossil watches as well as a host of undisclosed third-party manufacturers.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Tats\u00e4chlich produziert das Unternehmen, das f\u00fcr Modeuhren mit Quarzwerken bekannt ist, auch mechanische Uhrwerke.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n The STP1-11 is the company\u2019s base movement and has been engineered to fit anywhere a 2824-2 would, effectively making it a Swiss-made clone. STP headquarters is, in fact, a movement\u00a0Versammlung<\/em>\u00a0facility, many of the movement components are produced by the Fossil Group or by other Swiss manufacturers, meaning that the STP family of movements is in compliance with the stringent \u201cSwiss Made\u201d standards in effect since 2017.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Einige junge Marken wie Sterglas- und Zodiac-Uhren verwenden STP-Uhrwerke.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n RONDA\u00a0has been in the watch industry since 1946 and has continued to adapt their products as the watch industry demands, and known for their reliable Swiss quartz movements, announced the release of a new mechanical movement in 2016.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Mit einer Geschichte, die bis ins Jahr 1946 zur\u00fcckreicht, sind sie ein Hersteller, der st\u00e4ndig danach strebt, nur die besten und genauesten Uhrwerke der Branche zu produzieren, und ihre Verbindungen zu so vielen Industriek\u00f6nigen beweisen, dass sie etwas richtig machen.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Sie haben \u00fcber 30 brandneue Kaliber entworfen, von denen die meisten sehr komplex sind. Auf der Baselworld 2016 stellten sie das 11,5-Zoll-Kaliber R150 vor, das heute von Luxusuhrenmarken weit verbreitet ist.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Ronda watch movements are used by watch brands like TAG Heuer\u00a0to\u00a0Raymond Weil,\u00a0Victorinox, Christopher Ward and\u00a0Junkers.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n These five manufacturers are the main player of Swiss watch movement manufacturers. And then the Japanese movement manufacturers, if you are wondering what\u2019s the difference between Japanese movement and Swiss movement, you can read more Dort<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n Popular calibers:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Ronda 515 (3-hand with date)<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n Ronda 715 (slimline quartz)<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Brands using Ronda: TAG Heuer, Christopher Ward, Victorinox<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \u00a0<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Miyota’s full name is Citizen Miyota Co., Ltd., which is a movement manufacturer under Citizen and one of the world’s largest watch manufacturers.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n The annual output of Miyota manufacturers is around hundreds of millions, and Miyota movements can be seen almost everywhere. The 9000 series movements<\/a> are the Japanese answer to the venerable Swiss ETA 2824-2 and its variations, offering both high accuracy and superior reliability. It is also thinner than many other automatic movements, allowing for a thinner watch construction.<\/p>\r\n Popular models:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n 8215:<\/strong> Budget-friendly and durable.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n 9015 \/ 9039:<\/strong> Slim, smooth-sweeping movements comparable to Swiss counterparts.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Brands using Miyota: Fossil, Bulova, MVMT, Orient<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n The \u201cSeiko\u201d name actually stands for a whole group of companies that traces its roots to the Hattori family watch business founded in the late 19th century.\u00a0That being said, the subsidiaries are very diversified and in many cases independently run.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n The Seiko subsidiary TMI \u2013 Time Module \u2013 is hardly a household name. Time Module markets Seiko movements to third parties and usually does so under designations that make specific attribution difficult.\u00a0The TMI NH series<\/a> of movements can be found in a number of legendary Seiko dive watches and is widely used by many watch brands due to its affordability and reliability. Ops is also providing kundenspezifische Uhren<\/a> with NH movements at a factory price but same quality as many micro brands.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Obwohl nicht dekoriert und sp\u00e4rlich verarbeitet, ist der NH35A eine zuverl\u00e4ssige Workhouse-Bewegung, die ein ausgewogenes Verh\u00e4ltnis zwischen Budget, Leistung und Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit bietet.<\/p>\r\n Key series:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n NH35 \/ NH36:<\/strong> Affordable, hacking automatic movements.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n![\"ETA](\"https:\/\/opswatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ETA-2824-movement-1.jpg\")
