Rolex used El Primero

I guess we should define high-beat ourselves, or should we use the Mfr's terminology? You are calling watches that are faster than 28,800 High Beat, yet Seiko used the term Hi-Beat quite loosely in some instances, when they moved from 21,600 to 28,800. I have one of those around somewhere...
Sounds like a fun research project. Shall we collaborate, and write the definitive tome?

That's a fabulous idea :)

Rolex did use an El Primero but in a de-tuned, 28,800 vph version. And yes, I am talking about faster than 28,800 Seiko was not the only one to use the term in this way, JLC for instance did, too
Thought of the Senfine...

But it's still in prototype stage, like the new Zenith Defy Lab, IIRC. Thanks a lot! Added the Longines in the meantime and the Minerva will follow 👍🏻
Interesting my friend

The AP is the Jules Audemars Chronometer with AP escapement. I found the Buren Calibre 82 (5 Hz) Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Alkiro!

Do you know of any others, too? You seem to shoot such things from the hip
Here are 3:

All very different and based on AS cal's, as also used with FL & Eberharfor. The UN was based on ETA as your Eterna. Piaget & Movado also did high beats - but not sure if in house. Citizen & Orient too - a Seiko link? Felca also had a standalo...
Thanks a lot!
By: KMII : October 26th, 2017-14:09
Will add them. Movado was El Primero, IIRC? And three wonderful specimen you have! 👌🏻
OK...
By: KMII : October 26th, 2017-14:21
Seems that the 3019 was EP, the 405 and 408 were not
That it does :)
By: KMII : October 26th, 2017-15:24
Added a couple in the meantime
Ebel with . . .

El Primero cal 40.0 Clive New in 1989 ...
Did you buy it in 1989?
By: rdenney : November 4th, 2017-18:19
The logo sure looks like the 90's logo (note the slight difference with the logo on the example I posted, which also has a Zenith 40.0), but I didn't think the chronograph came with the wave bracelet after 1986, when the 1911 bracelet came out. I'm always...
GP high beat cals are:

include members of the Communaute de Precision Horlogere, formed in 1957 at the promotion of Charles Blum of Ebel. They worked together with A. Schild to develop a 5-Hz version of those ebauches (also, I believe, an automatic winder for it). Gerard-Perreg...
Wow - thanks for that, Rick!
By: KMII : November 4th, 2017-09:56
Glad for all this additional information - will add it to the post above ASAP! The beauty of Puristspro, I guess - the learning never ends
I found a couple more...
By: rdenney : November 4th, 2017-18:07
I did indeed find an example of an Ebel FastBeat with the caliber 215, which is the high-beat version of the AS1687: This was in an auction ad. The Fast Beat also came with the AS 1920, which was only supplied as a 5-Hz movement. We also know it as the Gi...
You are a star, Rick!
By: KMII : November 5th, 2017-00:31
Have added the Mido, the GPs I did not have and the others that were new. 👍🏻 Thank you so much! If you come across any others...
Added ETA movements...

Seiko calls this a Hi-Beat...
By: cshimokita : January 6th, 2018-08:00
It's the "Seiko SUS Military" released in 1996. With a 25 jewel 4S15 movement operating at 28,800 vph based on a King Seiko movement from the 1970s. There were two versions, a black dial (SCFF001) and a silver dial (SCFF003). I understand that 'SUS' stand...
hahaha...
By: cshimokita : January 6th, 2018-15:47
I searched for many years as well... found this one in December 2003 in a small second used watch shop under the tracks in Ueno, Tokyo... I just happened to be wearing it this weekend. Thanks for the additional information ; )
