The well-known watch brand Tissot and the Swiss company ETA, which produces mechanisms for watches, have developed a new caliber ETA 2825-2.

Caliber ETA 2825-2

Feature of the mechanism is the possibility of arbitrary placement of pointers, which in turn opens up new design possibilities of the dial. This is possible thanks to the flexible module with two rows of holes of 12 to set the gears in them, which carry traffic of the hour, minute and second hands. Designers can set the gears in any of the holes.
The automatic mechanism ETA 2825-2 is gathered on the 25 jewels composed of 182 parts. The diameter of the caliber is 25.60 mm, length - 6.60 mm, frequency - 4 Hz. The mechanism is equipped with a 42-hour power reserve.
