Hey everyone,

I'm sure many of you have already seen this webpage and some of you just know it by heart....however, for the rest of us this article is great if you would like to understand the history of UNITAS. I always wondered why ETA named some movements by number and others with a name and number.

Enjoy!

Yes, I agree with you. I think I have seen them somewhere (on the internet). I think it is called "sun gear" and there are also several variation provided as well such as PVD Coating 6497 and 6498 movement. I personally would like to source them as well if it is not too expensive :D
