The watch is priced at €1,970 / US$1,970 and features a Sellita SW510 automatic movement with a 56-hour power reserve. The chronograph pushers are noted as decorative and not intended for underwater use, despite the 100m water resistance rating. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Echo/Neutra AVERAU CERAMIC CHRONO SAND highly for its competitive tool-watch package and attractive ceramic case finishing at its price point.
