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 widely praise the Smiths BABY DREADNOUGHT PRS-52 for its legible, tool-diver aesthetic and unique design elements like the insert-less bezel, Plongeur hands, and distinctive minutes hand, which make it stand out from homage designs. The watch is frequently cited as looking and feeling more expensive than its price point, with a domed crystal adding visual appeal. Owners report good timekeeping, with one noting +5 seconds per day, and appreciate the value offered. The 37.4mm case size is generally considered comfortable, though one owner with a 6.75-inch wrist found the small dial made it wear small. A point of contention for strap enthusiasts is the 18mm lug width, which limits options. Overall, owners rate the Smiths BABY DREADNOUGHT PRS-52 highly for its distinctive design and perceived value, despite minor strap compatibility challenges.
