In Response To: Seamaster 120 ()

: What other watch manufacturers use the 1120 movement?

The Omega 1120 movement is only used by Omega. The 1120 is an Omega customized version of the ETA 2892A2 (sometimes written 2892/2) movement. Omega similarly uses the 2892A2 as the base for the Omega 1128 movement for the Seamaster GMT.

ETA is owned by Omega's parent company, The Swatch Group. The Swatch Group owns a number of other well known brands including BancPain, Rado, Longines, Tissot, Hamilton, and (of course) Swatch.

The ETA 2892A2 movement is used in straight or modified form in well over a dozen brands of fine watches -- from BancPain to Ulysse Nardin. It is generally considered one of the most accurate, durable, and reliable movements in its price range.
