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 Este anuncio provoc\u00f3 un gran revuelo, porque muchas marcas de relojes han estado utilizando movimientos ETA durante casi 20 a\u00f1os. Por lo tanto, algunas marcas de relojes formaron una alianza para demandar al Grupo Swatch, acus\u00e1ndolo de monopolio.<\/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 Por lo tanto, muchas marcas de relojes comienzan a producir sus propios movimientos o fuentes alternativas a ETA, de lo que hablaremos m\u00e1s adelante.<\/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 Al igual que ETA, Sellita divide los movimientos en cuatro grados diferentes para que los diferentes consumidores elijan. Actualmente en Suiza, Sellita es el reemplazo m\u00e1s grande para los movimientos de ETA, y muchas marcas han cambiado gradualmente a los movimientos de Sellita debido a que ETA detuvo el suministro a otras marcas de relojes. Se puede garantizar la calidad del movimiento Sellita. Porque las partes clave de su movimiento (espiral, escape) provienen de Nivarox que abastece tambi\u00e9n a ETA.<\/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 tambi\u00e9n fue un fabricante de fundici\u00f3n de ETA. Son buenos para pulir, chapar, reemplazar piezas de alta gama, superponer m\u00f3dulos funcionales. Tambi\u00e9n es una empresa que depende en gran medida de ETA.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n En la actualidad, su propio movimiento destacado A10, que es un movimiento b\u00e1sico, es diferente de ETA y Sellita en t\u00e9rminos de dispositivo de ajuste fino y puente de equilibrio. Por lo tanto, puede reconocerlo f\u00e1cilmente por el dise\u00f1o. A10 est\u00e1 dirigido principalmente al grado ETA 2892. Todos los movimientos A10 se producen de acuerdo con los est\u00e1ndares Top de movimientos ETA.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Sin embargo, la producci\u00f3n anual del movimiento Soprod es baja, que es de aproximadamente 100.000, marcas como OWC, Sinn, Doxas utilizan movimientos Soprod.<\/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 De hecho, la empresa conocida por los relojes de moda con movimientos de cuarzo tambi\u00e9n produce movimientos de relojes mec\u00e1nicos.<\/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\u00a0montaje<\/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 Algunas marcas j\u00f3venes como los relojes Sterglas y Zodiac utilizan movimientos STP.<\/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 Con una historia que se remonta a 1946, son un fabricante que prospera continuamente para producir solo los mejores y m\u00e1s precisos movimientos de la industria y su asociaci\u00f3n con tantos reyes de la industria demuestra que est\u00e1n haciendo algo bien.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Han dise\u00f1ado m\u00e1s de 30 calibres nuevos, la mayor\u00eda de ellos muy complejos y, en Baselworld 2016, presentaron el calibre R150 de 11,5 pulgadas, que es ampliamente utilizado por las marcas de relojes de lujo en la actualidad.<\/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 all\u00ed<\/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 relojes personalizados<\/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 Aunque no est\u00e1 decorado y tiene pocos acabados, el NH35A es un mecanismo de trabajo confiable que proporciona un buen equilibrio entre presupuesto, rendimiento y confiabilidad.<\/p>\r\n Key series:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n NH35 \/ NH36:<\/strong> Affordable, hacking automatic movements.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n![\"Movimiento](\"https:\/\/opswatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ETA-2824-movement-1.jpg\")
