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.

02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Timefactors PRS-29A for its excellent value, faithful reissue design, and compact 36mm case. The manual-wind ETA 2801-2 movement, 100m water resistance, and anti-magnetic properties are frequently highlighted as functional strengths, making it a popular grab-and-go or travel watch. Some owners note the shiny hands can blend into the dial, and one owner reports accuracy around +5 seconds per day. A desire for a screw-down crown for enhanced water resistance and poor lume are also mentioned. Overall, owners rate the Timefactors PRS-29A highly for its historical accuracy and robust build at its price point.
