Sellita

Sellita's flagship automatic movement and the most widely used Swiss automatic caliber in production today, having filled the supply gap created by ETA's restrictions on third-party sales. A functional clone of the ETA 2824-2, it is dimensionally identical and shares the same parts compatibility. Available in multiple grades from Standard to Top, the SW200-1 powers watches from dozens of Swiss and international brands.

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Smiths SPEEDBIRD III PRS-22 for its exceptional finishing and casework, often compared favorably to IWC and Rolex, with particular acclaim for its comfortable bracelet and immaculate indices. The watch is considered by many to be the finest under $1000, offering outstanding value. Some owners note that the lume, while applied thickly, fades quickly, and one owner found spring bar manipulation challenging due to the short lugs. The movement is a Sellita SW200-1. Overall, owners rate the Smiths SPEEDBIRD III PRS-22 highly for its impressive build quality and value proposition.
