The ETA 2852 is a reliable manual-wind mechanical movement from ETA, introduced around 1970, known for its precision and use in vintage watches.
Key Specifications
Size and Design: 11.5 lignes (25.60mm diameter), 4.15mm height, with sweep seconds and quickset date.
Jewels and Frequency: 17 jewels, beats at 28,800 A/h (4 Hz), offering about 50 hours power reserve.
Family Variants: Part of the 2850 series; 2850/2851 (no date), 2852/2853 (date), up to 2878/2879 (day-date automatic).
Historical Context
Developed as a “Gabarit” template succeeding older ETA 2800 designs, the 2852 powered models like early Doxa SUB 300T divers before upgrades to ETA 2824-2. Its slim profile suited mid-sized dress and tool watches from brands seeking robust, serviceable calibers amid the quartz crisis.
Features and Performance
Quickset date via pusher enhances usability, with optional hacking for precise time-setting. Incabloc shock protection ensures durability in daily wear. Though superseded by automatics like 2824, it remains prized for repairs due to available spares like barrels and wheels.
