The Sellita SW200

A few images of the movement in my Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300. It's pretty accurate for now adding about 5 seconds per day.

It is also a sturdy movement. I removed it once from one of my watches, and attempted to reinsert the stem while out of the case, but the gearing was not engaging. I retried several times applying more force, but no luck. Convinced that I ruined it, I cased back the movement planning to take it to a watchmaker, and carelessly pushed the stem back in - it was already broken, right? Wrong! It clicked back perfectly and is working flawlessly since then. I must have pushed it in at a slight angle while out of the case and maybe that's why it was not engaging, but anyway, it greatly exceeded my expectation in terms of fragility.

That's great.. it's are rare thing to have something accidentally "go right" in a positive way.

My only SW-200 (powering my Sinn 556) performs similarly about +5 spd. I think it's a legendary movement at this point, but I'd definitely wouldn't mind seeing its power reserve increased to about 50-60 hours.

Supposedly Sellita are working on a SW-200 successor - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTvBc8XDiWU (question 6)
