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.

“

Owners widely report that the IXDAO 5305 Elegant Professional Dive Watch V3-California dial offers significant value for its price, with one owner calling it their favorite piece and noting it hits well above its weight. However, multiple owners have flagged instances of misaligned bezels, with one seller deeming such issues acceptable for mass-produced items, though another owner still found the watch worth keeping due to its value. One owner swapped the stock Milanese bracelet due to clasp concerns. On balance, owners rate the IXDAO 5305 Elegant Professional Dive Watch V3-California dial highly for its value proposition, despite some noting potential quality control inconsistencies with the bezel.
