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.

“

Owners widely praise the Timefactors PRS-29A for its excellent value and craftsmanship, noting its classic design, 36mm case size, and manual-wind ETA 2801-2 movement. Community members highlight its anti-magnetic properties and 100m water resistance, with some finding it a functional piece of watchmaking history and a great grab-and-go beater. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting +5 seconds per day, while another desires a screw-down crown for improved water resistance. Criticisms also include poor lume and an uncomfortable OEM NATO strap, though one owner specifically praises the sapphire crystal. Overall, owners rate the Timefactors PRS-29A highly for its compact size and value as a military/field watch.
