Most Interesting ETA Based Watches?
I thought this would be fun! Lots of creative things have been done with ETA/Sellita movements.
Curious, what do you guy think are some clever functions that have been built on some? For example, the new Bel Canto is a really cool use case.

Ludwig Oechslin turned a 7750 into an annual calendar with am/pm indicator (the red dots) with single pusher operation by adding only 9 parts!
I thought it was already in house with these models
Anyway the outcome is outstanding
Dual time, hours and minutes adjustable independently for any time zone
Back and side view just like the above watch...
To me, this is the most elaborate ETA ever conceived.
IWC Destriero Perpetual Calendar, Moon Phase, Minute Repeating Split Second Chronograph.
Based on 7750...
Some of the most famous Ulysse Nardin timepieces ...
... such as the Trilogy of Time: Astrolabium, Planeatrium, Tellurium
All of them powered by the ETA 2892A2.
Then the selfwinding hourstriker with automaton, also based on that ETA workhorse:
Talking about astronomical watches, there are also the gems made by Christiaan van der Klaauw, based on the ETA 2824-2 (unfortunately, I don't find the pics in my archive right now).

The astronomical trilogy is discontinued ...
... but the Hourstriker (the Musashi version) still has the 2892 base, while the modern Blast Hourstriker has a tourbillon movement, without the automaton on the (non-existant) dial.
