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.
