Yeah it's a great movement.

Like every other ETA it's available in a number of different tolerances, so remember that they aren't all created equal. The highest quality version is designed to be capable of COSC (that's the one Breitling uses) but there are two lesser quality versions that are used by cheaper brands.

Other than that it has what you would expect - direct second hand drive, 25 hewels, and a track record for more than 25 years.

Not really my taste, but looks like a very solid watch.

It is just what I was looking for as a daily beater Roff, it was under £350 and I honestly think it is worth every penny
