Other Swiss Movements

Beyond ETA, the world of Swiss watch movements is full of gems. Brands like Sellita, Ronda, and Soprod have created their own line of high-performance calibers that rival the classics. The Sellita SW200, for instance, is a near-perfect 1:1 alternative to the ETA 2824 — but with smoother hand-winding and improved shock resistance. Builders often choose these movements for custom Swiss-style cases or microbrand projects that demand reliability without the licensing costs. Pair your Swiss movement with precision hands and sapphire crystals for a professional-grade finish.

Whether you’re restoring a vintage diver or building your first automatic, these movements bring Swiss accuracy to your fingertips. Use a steady movement holder during assembly, and finish your mod with stainless bracelets or leather straps for elegance. The Swiss have always led the watch world — now you can bring that legacy to your workbench.
