ETA is completing its range in the G10 family with six new movements, all powered by its latest exclusive technologies and provided with various practical complications.
The hour, minute, second and date functions are displayed by all these models and among them, five have a chronograph function. The PowerDrive technology integrated into all these movements controls the motor drive and increases the speed of rotation of the hands on the dial to 200 Hz, that is to say 200 hand jumps per second. It offers the manufacturer a great deal of freedom in the display combinations. This arrangement provides one more remarkable dynamic to a modern three-counter, sport-chic look that is already well known and appreciated by the general public. The PreciDrive technology integrated into a calibre allows the watch to achieve exceptional precision of +/- 10 seconds a year, a score equivalent to a precision of 0.027 seconds a day.
In addition to standing out by their reliability and robustness, these Swiss made movements make themselves a part of daily leisure time with a convenient battery life of 36 months in the case of a chronograph used 1 hour a day. Nevertheless you have to choose between a chronograph (G10.212 AQ) to measure an event up to 12 hours or the airborne inspiration of the Flyback chronograph (G10.212 AN), which enables the chronograph to be reset to zero and instantly restarted. A flyback which will certainly rival the LapTimer chronograph designed to count the laps to 1/10th of a second in the PowerDrive version (G10.212 AP) or the PreciDrive version (G10.212 AJ). Unless frequent travellers prefer the Day Date GMT (G10.212AM) for its really useful double time zone. A final model meets particularly the expectations of afficionados who ask for the moon with the 12-hour moon phase chronograph (G10.962 EO).
The G10 collection knows how to seduce with its measurements since these models are interchangeable with the current range in multiple trimmings: a diameter of 13¼´´´, a height equal to 5.12 mm (except for the 5.15 mm moon phase chronograph) and two identical chronograph push-buttons for the different models.
This family of entry-level multiple-facet movements gives watch manufacturers a wide panel of complications.
