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 Stewart Dawson Darkest Hour is praised for its retro pilot design and comfortable Italian leather strap. However, one reviewer found the hunter-style caseback with a random quote disappointing and suggested a slightly domed sapphire crystal would have improved perceived value. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Stewart Dawson Darkest Hour offers a good wearing experience with its retro pilot design.
