ETA

The hand-wound, no-date sibling of the ETA 2824-2, a Swiss manual movement beating at 28,800 vph with around 42 hours of power reserve. Its rotor-less, slimmer build suits dress and field watches that favour a thinner case.

Smiths AIR MINISTRY PRS-29AM owners praise its 36mm vintage size, boxed sapphire crystal, 18mm lugs, 100m water resistance, 20,000 a/m anti-magnetism, heat-blued hands, and cream dial, noting its presence due to the tall crystal. It is considered an excellent, affordable tool watch with drilled lugs for easy strap changes, suitable for various wrist sizes. Some owners miss the chunky heat-blued hands and double-domed sapphire, and wish for a bracelet option and more lume. Overall, owners rate the Smiths AIR MINISTRY PRS-29AM highly for its authentic vintage pilot watch aesthetic and practical tool watch features at an affordable price.
