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.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

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 set it apart from homage designs. The watch is noted for appearing more expensive than its price point, with one owner reporting excellent timekeeping at +5 seconds per day. A specific point of contention for strap enthusiasts is the 18mm lug width, which limits options, and one owner found the 37.4mm case wore small on a 6.75-inch wrist due to its dial size. Overall, owners rate the Smiths BABY DREADNOUGHT PRS-52 highly for its distinctive design and value, despite minor challenges with strap compatibility and perceived sizing.
