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.

Owners praise the Laco Chemnitz 38's 38mm case size as a good fit and highlight the distinctive stonewashed or bead-blasted case finish. The Type B dial offers excellent legibility and lume, with blue hands that can appear black in certain lighting. One owner reports consistent accuracy of +2.5 seconds per day and finds the manual wind feel superior to automatic movements. The Miyota 9015 movement is noted as a strong performer. Overall, owners rate the Laco Chemnitz 38 highly for its legibility and distinctive case finishing at the price point.
