Hangzhou · base ETA 2824-2

A Chinese-made clone of the ETA 2824-2 that has gained a reputation for punching well above its price point. Dimensionally identical to the Swiss original, it accepts the same parts and can be serviced by any watchmaker familiar with the 2824 platform. The PT5000 has become the go-to automatic for Chinese microbrand watches and offers surprisingly consistent timekeeping, often within plus or minus 10 seconds per day.

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the IXDAO's aesthetic, particularly its earth-tone dial and resemblance to luxury dive watches, with one owner appreciating the blue gradient dial and another liking the variant with Chinese numerals. The dial and fully lumed bezel insert are noted strengths, and the original strap's quality is also mentioned positively. However, some owners report build quality issues including sharp edges, rough bezel action, and a gritty crown feel. Concerns are also raised regarding the Hangzhou PT5000 movement's reliability, with past failures of its keyless works cited. On balance, owners rate the IXDAO highly for its attractive dial and luxury-inspired design, despite some reservations about build quality and movement reliability.
