Check out our rotary watch selection for the very best in unique or custom, handmade pieces from our shops. This gorgeous chunk of 1970’s stainless steel has certainly seen a lot of use and is looking rather sorry for its self, but it stopped. Rotary Automatic (AS 2066) It’s always rather sad to see a special watch, given out of love to recognize a special occasion, consigned to the bin after years of service because it has stopped working.
It fastens a black rubber strap and has a white dial. We are thrilled to win this prestigious award and are so pleased the British public have recognised our renewed focus on product, consumer service and sales- Peter McKenna, CEO, Rotary WatchesThis mens Rotary Aquaspeed Gt Monza watch has a stainless steel case and is powered by a quality automatic movement. The ETA 2824-2 is the most ubiquitous of ETA’s movements.Rotary Watches is thrilled to be awarded Watch Brand of the Year in a consumer vote at the Retail Jeweller UK Jewellery Awards 2019. But, ETA movements can be found in watch brands big and small and has played a critical role in the explosion of microbrands over the last few years. ETA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Swatch Group, meaning many of Swatch Group’s brands are powered by ETA movements.

One brand excelling at bringing affordable mechanical movements to the masses is Raven, based in Kansas. We also featured some of these watches in our recent guide “ One-Watch Collection: The Best Everyday Watches 2018.” The ETA 2824 (technically, “2824-2”, but we’ll use the shorthand) is a great movement that powers many affordable everyday watches.As mentioned, access to cheaper, quality movements like the ETA 2824-2 has led to a boom in microbrands. Let’s look at five awesome watches that are powered by the ETA 2824. The most accurate grade is Chronometer, and meets the strict standards prescribed by COSC to achieve chronometer-certified status.Enough about the movement. The lowest “Standard” grade” averages +/- 12 seconds of variation a day, with the more accurate Elaborated and Top grades average +/- 7 and +/- 4 seconds per day, respectively.
Not sold out, limited-production runs. Appendix: ETA 2892There are a number of microbrands we thought about including, but we wanted to feature watches that are currently available, i.e. The watches are offered with a variety of dial and hand colors, but all come with a stainless steel case and bracelet.For more, visit Raven Watches. Raven’s 40mm Trekker , 44mm Endeavour and 47mm Titanium Deep (currently sold out) also use the ETA 2824-2 movement.
For example, the Ochs und Junior Perpetual Calendar requires just 9 additional parts to its ETA 2824-2 base, a truly awesome engineering achievement. While its “basic” time-and-date watch powered by the ETA 2824-2 is cool, even cooler is the minimal modifications they make to create moon phase, annual calendar, and perpetual calendar watches. Oh by the way, another of our favorite microbrands, Oak & Oscar, is currently offering the Humboldt, which is powered by an ETA 2892 movement (I suppose a roundup of watches with the ETA 2892 should be next?).We also did not include any watches from independent Ochs und Junior, which uses the ETA 2824-2 as the base for its models.
