Sellita

Sellita's flagship automatic movement and the most widely used Swiss automatic caliber in production today, having filled the supply gap created by ETA's restrictions on third-party sales.

Available in multiple grades from Standard to Top, the SW200-1 powers watches from dozens of Swiss and international brands.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners praise Bausele's classic military designs and value, with one reviewer calling the Elemental a good buy for its originality and bespoke feel. Some find the sandwich dial appealing, but opinions are divided on the hands and the soil-filled crown, with one owner deeming it gimmicky and another unappealing. The 42mm case on the Elemental wears like a 42mm, and some may prefer smaller sizing. Overall, owners rate Bausele highly for its unique design elements and solid value proposition.
