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.

02The community take

Owners talk.

“

The Glycine Sea Kraken is widely praised for its retro design and excellent case finishing for its price, with reviewers noting crisp dial printing and an elegant stainless steel bezel. Owners report excellent accuracy, with some seeing deviations as low as 1 second per day, though one user observed up to a 6-second loss during high activity. The 39mm size is generally considered comfortable, though its 48mm lug-to-lug measurement may be an issue for smaller wrists. The bezel action is consistently flagged as strong with no back-play. The included leather strap is frequently criticized as unsuitable for a diver and often replaced. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Sea Kraken highly for its vintage aesthetic and strong value proposition, particularly given its adjusted Sellita SW200 movement and limited edition status.
