Do you know how the Sellita SW200-1 movement works?
At the heart of many Fathers watches beats a mechanism synonymous with reliability, precision, and Swiss tradition: the Sellita SW200-1. This automatic movement, though often hidden beneath the dial, is one of the absolute protagonists of the experience on the wrist. Because a great watch always starts with a great movement.
A high-precision mechanical heart
The Sellita SW200-1 is a Swiss automatic movement with 26 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). This high frequency allows for greater precision in timekeeping and a visual fluidity of the seconds hand. Its power reserve is approximately 38 hours, enough to accompany you even on days when you don't wear the watch.
Automatic, reliable, independent
Like any true automatic movement, the Sellita SW200-1 is wound by the simple movement of your wrist. Inside, a steel rotor rotates with the movement of your arm, constantly winding the mainspring. This means freedom: no battery needed, no need to remember to wind it. Just wear it, and it works for you.
The evolution of a legend
The Sellita SW200-1 was born as an evolution of the famous ETA 2824-2, one of the most popular movements in the history of watchmaking. Sellita took that design, refined it, and improved its materials and manufacturing, making it a benchmark for many high-end brands. Today, it is one of the most popular automatic mechanical movements, precisely because of its balance of quality, robustness, and ease of maintenance.
View on the movement: technical beauty
Many Fathers models feature a sapphire crystal case back that allows a glimpse of the movement in action. It's a true spectacle: gears turning, the rotor turning, the balance wheel beating. An invitation to slow down and observe time unfold. The movement's finishing, often decorated with circular graining or Côtes de Genève, adds a further touch of refinement.
Reliable performance in every situation
The Sellita SW200-1 is designed to operate under a wide range of conditions, maintaining remarkable accuracy even after years of use. With an average accuracy of ±12 seconds per day (adjustable to ±4 in the Elaboré or Top versions), it's an excellent choice for those seeking a watch that never lets you down.
Maintenance and durability
Like any mechanical movement, the Sellita SW200-1 requires periodic maintenance to maintain peak performance. A complete overhaul is recommended every 4-5 years, during which lubricants, adjustments, and cleaning are checked. With proper care, this movement can serve you for decades.
Sellita SW200-1: Swiss precision on your wrist
When you choose Fathers, you also choose the guarantee of a reliable heart. The Sellita SW200-1 is more than a movement: it's a promise of quality. It's proof that elegance can go hand in hand with technology, that beauty can also be functional.
Conclusion: Time in motion
With the Sellita SW200-1, Fathers celebrates Swiss engineering and mechanical tradition, combining innovation, reliability, and timeless appeal. Every tick is a reminder of precision, every rotation of the rotor confirms the profound bond between the builder and the wearer.
Because true luxury isn't stopping time. It's knowing how to accompany it.
