MOVEMENT: Automatic ETA 2824-2, chronometer grade. Diameter 25.6mm (11½‴), ht. 4.6mm; 25 jewels; 28,800vph. This movement needs no introduction to watch enthusiasts — it has been characterized as a “workhorse” many times. As with all UTS watches, the movement is adjusted to five positions by Nicolaus Spinner, UTS founder and watchmaker. Incidentally, Herr Spinner (photo below), a mechanical engineer, is not just the watch assembler. He designs the watches and cases, machines the cases himself (no outside supplier is used) before assembling the parts and delivering the watch. Only the dials, hands, and crowns are outsourced. This watch is still in its settling-in period, so I have not yet gauged its running accuracy. But all my other UTS watches keep time within C.O.S.C. chronometer parameters.
