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.

“

The Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze is widely praised for its exceptional value, slim profile, and attractive aesthetic development, with owners frequently highlighting its comfortable wearability and unique design. Its thin case, around 10.4-10.5mm, is a recurring point of admiration, fitting easily under cuffs. The ETA 2824 or SW200 movement is noted as reliable, with one owner reporting accuracy of +1.9 seconds per day. Lume is generally considered strong, comparable to a Seiko SKX007, though one source noted it as subpar. Some owners expressed a desire for ceramic bezel inserts, while others preferred the aluminum for its thinner profile. A few specific criticisms include a non-bronze buckle, the potential for uneven patina from seawater exposure, and inconsistent power reserve not always reaching the advertised 42 hours. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze highly for its ruggedness and value, making it a compelling choice for a durable diver's watch.
