Hi all,

I bought a Breitling SuperOcean 44mm non chrono with Asian 2824 (25j) @28.8 kbph. (the only feature is the date)
I'm looking to swap the asian to an ETA movt. The gen Abyss movt is Breitling calibre 17, but I don't want to go franken, just ETA.

I did some research but no way to understand what I need, there so much references... As I'm located in France, my researches were concentrated on Cousinsuk.com who has lots of lots of references.
Could you guys help me to refine the reference of the ETA I need ?

Thanks.

Breitling Cal. 17 IS an ETA 2824-2, just with specific design and COSC certificate. You can swap 1:1 the Asian with ETA, everything fits.

thank you very much ;)

Thank to your help I found some ETA 2824-2.

one more little question : is SW200 better ? Ebay often proposes Sellita brand as an equivalent to ETA, but is it really worth ?
