The ETA 2819 is a manual-wind mechanical watch movement produced by ETA from 1971 to 1977, known for its high-beat performance in vintage Swiss timepieces.
Key Specifications
Size and Design: 11.5 ligne (25.60mm diameter), sweep seconds hand at the center, 17 jewels.
Beat Rate: 36,000 beats per hour (10 beats per second), offering smoother seconds hand motion compared to standard 28,800 bph movements.
Power Reserve: Approximately 46 hours when fully wound.
Features: Optional hacking seconds for precise time-setting; part of the ETA 2800 series derived from earlier 2750/2770 families.
Historical Context
Introduced in the early 1970s amid the quartz crisis, the ETA 2819 represented ETA’s push toward high-frequency mechanical calibers. It evolved from 1960s mainstream lines like the 2500/2600 series, sharing lineage with modern staples such as the ETA 2824. Production ceased in 1977, but its reliability made it popular in mid-tier watches from brands like Omega and Eterna suppliers.
Technical Highlights
Winding: Hand-wound via split stem compatible with calibers 2800-2839; no automatic rotor.
Accuracy and Maintenance: Adjusted for reliability, with parts like the central seconds wheel still available from specialists; high beat demands precise regulation.
Modern Relevance: Sought by collectors and repairers for vintage restores; interchangeable stems aid servicing.
