ETA GMT movement?


Recommended Posts

So for various ETA movements:

6497/8 are the pocket watch movements

2801 is the manual wind movement

2824 is the workhorse automatic movement

2892 is the slim automatic movement with date

2836 is the automatic day/date movement

7750 is the automatic day/date chronograph movement

7751 is the automatic day/date/month chronograph moon phase movement

What is the GMT movement?

I don't know the answer to your question specifically, but I was recently reading about Chinese ETA clones, and your question had me looking back through my history..

That might be of interest.

GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, later came UTC universal time. 

Of use mostly in avaiation, pilots as well as frequent flyers.

Basically for keeping track of your local time zone in respect with Greenwhich or UTC time.

To read time in two different time zone. 

That is all I know, I swear :stuff:

GMT watches have an extra hour hand which is used for different time zones. Although with smart phones etc theses are now not a necessary requirement. 

And exactly when did necessary enter into a reason to purchase yet another watch when we already have multiples? As old fashioned as it sounds, I use my blinkin' phone for just that. Any social networking is still done the old fashioned way, one handshake at a time while making eye contact. If I allowed need to dictate my watch purchases, I would still own one Timex watch. Yeep! I just took an quick inventory and I'm far too embarrassed to post that number publicly.

    • Ok thanks Ross, I will give that a try!😁
    • Welcome my friend. 
    • Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.
    • Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?
    • Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
