2892A2

Hi Elio,

As you may be aware ETA has removed the manufacturers information from the public portion of their website recently.
Because of this I am not able to look into more detail on the 2892A2.
In small quantities the only movements that are available are those destined for service work.
Chronometer movements should be available, but will be very expensive I think.
If you are able to become a direct customer of any movement manufacturer, certain quantities of movements a year required , they will make the decoration as you would like it. You can choose.
As the winding efficiency of the 2892A2 has always been somewhat in question, I can believe that they have made improvements in this direction. I am not aware of anything in particular 'though.

I wish you all the best for your project. Be sure to keep us informed as it advances.
Don

Thank you so much!

This is very interesting information. It does, however, make me wonder all the more why some rather high-end brands use the lower grade movement, if they're not more robust, and the cost differences between the grades is fairly low compared to the total p...

Hi Don, thank you for your inputs: me too I’m interested in the differences between the various grades of the ETA movements. In particular, for the watch I’ve designed I’ve chosen the ETA 2892A2 for its reliability and robustness, but also because of the ...

Dear Don, thank you for your kind, friendly and very competent reply. I wasn't aware ETA has removed the manufacturers information from the public portion of their website. This means that the files I've downloaded when I started to design my dream-watch,...
