Inside beats the highly regarded: ETA Calibre 2472 Swiss automatic movement 25 jewels Incabloc shock protection Bidirectional winding Instantaneous date change Approximately 42-hour power reserve One of ETA's finest vintage automatic calibres, used by numerous prestigious Swiss manufacturers during the 1960s. A particularly desirable feature of the ETA 2472 is its semi quick-set date mechanism. The date is advanced by moving the hands forward from approximately 20:30 (8:30 PM) to midnight, then back again to around 20:30, repeating the process until the desired date is reached. This innovative system was considered highly advanced for its era and is an important characteristic of this calibre.
