33xx is a frederic piguet movement

In Response To: Movement question for georges ()

No,the 33xx family of movements is based on the frederic piguet 1285 es deluxe. It is not the most robust column wheel selfwinding chrono movement but a great bargain for the price.
The 3313 is the coaxial version of the 3301 and 3303. The most durable movement when it comes to selfwinding chrono column wheel movements is the rolex 4130 and when it comes to the handwound chrono column wheel movement it is the lemania 2310-2320 calibers.

hope it helps

regards

georges

p.s: eta doesn't play in the same ground than piguet, and there is a huge difference between an eta movement finish and a piguet movement finsih same for quality
