History of the ETA 2892 Movement
It was officially launched back in the 1970s, along with other excellent mechanical movements such as the ETA 2824, the Valjoux 7750, and many more. The ETA 2892 was marketed as the flattest self-winding caliber to ever be mass-produced back then.
ETA has produced many movements since its foundation, but the ETA 2892 caliber remains one of its finest creations. It was officially launched back in the 1970s, along with other excellent mechanical movements such as the ETA 2824, the Valjoux 7750, and many more. The ETA 2892 was marketed as the flattest self-winding caliber to ever be mass-produced back then. This makes sense as it was also a part of ETA’s Flatline family. As such, the ETA 2892 caliber boasted a thickness of less than 4mm.
Another interesting thing about the ETA 2892 is how resilient it is despite many external challenges. If you pay attention to the dates, you will note that the ETA 2892 caliber was actually launched around the same period as the quartz revolution. During that time, there was constant turmoil surrounding the two types of movement. Eventually, however, quartz technology took over. This caused a massive shift in the watchmaking world, with manufacturers deviating away from mechanical calibers. Amidst all that, the ETA 2892 is notable for being one of the lucky non-quartz movements that survived the purge.
Come the 1980s, and many new watch designs and structures were emerging, which led ETA to adapt to the times. They did so by modifying and updating a number of their products, including the ETA 2982 caliber. Since then, there has been a couple of contemporary interpretations of the ETA 2892 that are still being used today.
Anatomy and Features of the ETA-2892 Movement
closer view of the ETA-2892 Movement
The ETA 2892 is a renowned movement in the world of horology. It is considered a robust and stable caliber that showcases a very thin structure. It has a diameter of around 28mm with a thickness of approximately 3.6mm. In addition, the ETA 2892 movement has a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This is a drastic improvement from the standard at the time, which was around 18,800 vph. ETA achieved this impressive result by replacing the mainspring of the ETA 2892 caliber with a sturdier version. Lastly, this movement boasts a power reserve range of around 40 to 50 hours.
Ultimately, the ETA 2892 was an impressive feat back then, especially since it boasted even better quality and accuracy than its predecessors. The fact that it is still being used even today shows how great this caliber actually is. Truly, the ETA 2892 is a movement that was ahead of its time.
Caliber 2892-A2
The caliber 2892-A2 is the most recent version of the ETA 2892. It falls under the Swiss brand’s Mecaline Specialties range. Its approximate measurements are the following: a diameter of 25.60mm and a thickness of 3.60mm. This automatic movement also has a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, 21 jewels, and an improved 50-hour power reserve. The caliber 2892-A2 is probably the version that is most utilized by many watch brands today.

Difficult tasks always look easy when they are done by an expert.
Thankn You !
Yes, of course. I always like to see step-by-step in real-time. Some out there in RUclipsLand may have the attention span of a three-week-old puppy, but my attention span is significantly longer if the video helps me learn how to do it. I just serviced a cute little ladies Omega with a 483 movement, which is now running great, but I was happy over that small endeavor 🤪🤪😎😎
Thanks.
congratulations on a successful site! I will make a step by step video next week
Hi Karol, I always find that inspection, pre-clean and clean take by far the most time on any watch, and that effort has nothing to do with the name on the dial.
exactly ! the logo on the dial doesn't matter. The service process is the same for a cheap and expensive watch. both need to be carefully disassembled to check the parts. you need to clean them, you use the same chemistry and it takes the same amount of time
That’s the down side of buying an inexpensive watch with a half decent movement. To keep it properly maintained after a period, it requires a professional service such as you perform. Some owners don’t like that thought. lol.
Yes please , nice long step by step.
Thank You !
bro really did a speed run through disassembly
hello, thank you for your comment :)
No brass tweezer? And what about to check all heights? Check parts? Balance spring check?
buddy, I've been doing this for many years. I really know what I'm doing. everything was checked and done according to the manufacturer's specifications. It's impossible to show everything in a short video
Regards
Everyone can be quick, perfection is what is wanted. 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
@@kme7001 I agree with you, after disassembly, most parts are checked under a microscope, and after maintenance, a set of tests is performed. There is no room to rush when servicing watch
🙂🙂👍👍
Dziekuje :)
