Miyota

Miyota's premium automatic caliber positioned as a Japanese alternative to the ETA 2824-2 and Sellita SW200-1. The 9015 adds hacking, hand-winding, and a smoother 28,800 vph beat rate over the budget 8215. Its thinner profile and higher jewel count make it a favorite among microbrands seeking a reliable mid-range movement that punches above its price point.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Archimede Watches 1950-1 is praised for its attractive 1950s styling and German-made Ickler case. Owners note its light weight and 9.8mm thinness, making it a versatile everyday and business-casual watch. The 39mm case features bent hands that follow the dial's curve and silver Arabic numerals that appear black in many lighting conditions, with a clean date execution. The Miyota 9015 automatic movement is standard, and the watch is priced around $660 USD. The included strap is considered mediocre and too large for some wrists, and a recurring complaint involves the inconsistent performance of a bracelet's push clasp, leading some to recommend opting for a strap instead. On balance, owners rate the Archimede Watches 1950-1 highly for its classic styling and well-finished Ickler case at its price point.
