Clyde is correct, but his response needs a bit more detail.
ETA is a part of the Swatch Group, which also owns Omega and a number of other fine watch brands. The movements used in Omegas are modified versions of the stock movements. The ETA 2892A2 used in the SMP is heavily modified. So is the ETA 7750 used in the SMP Chrono.
These movements are also used in a large number of other models of other brands in and out of the Swatch Group. The watches they are used in vary in price from several hundred to several thousand $ USD. As examples, Breitling uses modified ETAs. Fortis also ues ETAs but I believe their modifications are minimal.
I'm not sure who makes their quartz movements, but I'm assuming its also ETA.
: Does Omega make thier own(auto and quartz)
: movements? if not who does, and what other
: brands are they used in....
