It is a standard ETA with engraved rotor. We have had a lot of problems with decoration of this movement. The movement was originally going to have a black PVD rotor with color through engraving but the finishers couldn't apply PVD to this particular movement because the ball bearings are pressed into the rotor.

Then, with the limited supply ETA has left, they sent us some rotors with partial engraving on them already, so we are adding to that. This WILL be the last time we work with ETA for many reasons and has set us back quite a bit with the release.
However, everything is still Swiss Made with this model.

Sorry to hear the Curtis. What movement manufacturer are you targeting for the future?

We will be looking at the other Swiss "replacements" that will be filling the gap as well as the new Miyota.

Still looking at October.
