 A new quartz eta is in development I learned from Tim Temple hand6.gif
In other Swiss news, I’ve just received word from Swiss ETA that a new movement is in development. Look for the rollout of a new X80 family of quartz movements late this year. Among the improvements in this movement is the unification of the height of the day/date display to 3.65mm in men’s and 2.95mm in women’s. The movement also features a simplified crown assembly and a fourth wheel with 60 teeth, up from the current 49. ETA is saying this new engine series will sell for “an attractive price.” I’ll continue investigating at the Basel Watch Fair.
