ETA 2824 compatible | SW200-2 Swiss Movement DIY Watch Kit - Master Aviator
Warning: we strongly do not recommend assembling this as your first DIY watch. Please pay special attention to stem/crown removal instructions; failing to follow them may result in a damaged movement.
After months—perhaps even years—of requests, our first build-your-own watch kit with a Swiss mechanical movement is here.
Inspired by classic pilot watches, it pairs clean, functional proportions with a modern take on the Type B dial, finished with Japanese BGW9 Super-LumiNova. At its heart is a Swiss-made SW200-2 movement, with a 65-hour power reserve and improved automatic winding. The kit is also compatible with movements built on the ETA 2824 architecture.
To complete the watch, we’ve included our new CTS FKM rubber strap with a modern butterfly clasp—a comfortable, stylish match for everyday wear.
This is a rewarding build, but it’s a step up in difficulty from our Japanese mechanical movement kits. If you’re new to watchmaking, take your time and follow the instructions carefully.
