Looks like it’s going slow compared to the Casio.

Lovely watch though.
I’d rather have a slightly slow watch than fast one.

One of the coolest, under the radar watches ever made in my opinion

Looked up ETA movement.
Knew nothing about the company.
My understanding is that it’s a Swiss company that makes watch movements that they sell to other companies.
Quick interesting.
Personally I have 3 watches
A relatively expensive metal swatch with buttons
A solar powered quartz watch
A £30 Chinese automatic mechanical watch
The swatch needs a new battery
The solar one works
The Chinese one is unbelievable value and has a Chinese brand name. Just bought it so trying it out.
I generally wear the solar powered watch because it was a present.
I could post photos but my watches are bargain basement.

ETA
Have been making movements for many brands of watches for many years lots of old Rolex and Omega and Breitling have used their movements before some have developed their own in house movements.
ETA still exists but no longer supply movements outwith their own group of companies.
Swiss movement manufacturer ETA SA has been developing and producing calibres for the watch industry since 1793. This expertise laid the foundations for the emergence of one of the world’s largest manufacturers of watches and movements.

Oh, please do, at least the Chinese one. I love cheap mechanical watches. I have a Seagull, a few Vostoks and a Seiko 5 myself. And yes, I wear them just as happily as my expensive ones.

Sellita.
If talking about ETA, Sellita should be mentioned. Apologies for the cutting and pasting.
" Sellita (Sellita Watch Co. SA) is a Swiss manufacturer of mechanical watch movements based in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the canton of Neuchâtel. Founded in 1950, Sellita was one of ETA’s major outsourced assembly partners for their movements until 2003.[1]
After 2003, Sellita developed its own movements based on ETA movements with expired patent rights[2] and has become one of the main movement manufacturers of the Swiss watchmaking industry.[3]
Bangalore Watch Co., Hublot, IWC, Lilienthal Berlin, Oris, Raymond Weil, Sinn, TAG Heuer and Christopher Ward (watchmaker) are among the brands that use Sellita’s movements or slightly modified versions to power their watches.[4]" Wiki.

Fascinating …
I suppose I always assumed that each watch company made it own mechanisms.
Thanks for the info.

A man with one watch knows the time.
A man with two does not
