Sellita

Sellita's day-date automatic caliber, the equivalent of the ETA 2834-2.

The additional 0.45mm of height over the SW200-1 accommodates the day display mechanism. A reliable workhorse for brands needing a day-date Swiss automatic at competitive pricing.

Owners widely appreciate the Sō Labs Layer 2.2's unique and fun design, particularly its novel day/date complication. However, reading the time at a glance requires some adjustment, and the shallow lug box necessitates curved spring bars for alternative straps. One owner notes the case sounds "tingy" and metallic when struck, suggesting a loosened grip can improve its feel during activity. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Sō Labs Layer 2.2 appealing for its distinctive aesthetic and complication, despite minor usability quirks.
