Actually, it's Soprod, not ETA. The Festina Group owns both Soprod and Perrelet. The Caliber P-261 used in this Perrelet Seacraft is based on the Soprod A-10, which is similar to the ETA 2892, but unlike the ETA clones made by Selitta, is engineered from the ground up by Soprod. It's reputed to be a very high quality movement, as good or perhaps better than its ETA counterpart. Perrelet has a reputation for using highly decorated movements, which makes it a little bit of a shame that there's no see through caseback on the Seacraft.Just received today. Amazing watch.

Perrelet, a new watch brand? Their fondness for "777" is a reference to date of their founding, 1777. Abraham-Louis Perrelet is said to have made the first self-winding watch in the 1770's.That's a great looking watch! I like the looks of many Perrelet watches. I think this is a brand on the rise.
I just don't get the silly claims for the 'inventor of the automatic watch' coming from a new watch brand... Somehow I can forgive them these misleading claims due to the watches they are putting out. It is a beautiful watch.
