THE MOVEMENT
(TO BE EDITED)
I’d be remiss to not talk briefly about what’s under the hood, and that’s none other than the ETA 2824 movement. Introduced in 1982 and beating at 28,800 vph with 25 jewels and a 38-hour reserve, the 2824 movement is very much a stalwart of watchmaking. It’s capable and robust, and it’s been iterated and perfected in the last thirty years to be good enough for virtually any watch with case dimensions to accommodate it. The ETA 2824-2 was selected because it does the basics well, and this is very much a simple Tudor.
The ETA 2824 (folks in the know will often omit the “dash-two” at the end for brevity’s sake) is roughly 5mm thick — meaning that the Tudor Black Bay Heritage Smiley actually is a touch thinner than its newer counterpart, which is always welcome.
THE BOTTOM LINE
