ETA Caliber 2813?

What you may see listed as an ETA 2813 clone, is not actually an ETA clone at all. In fact, there is not an ETA 2813 to clone. It is also not an ETA 2824-2 clone.

The caliber 2813 (sometimes called A2813 – A for Asia or Asian 2813) is closer to being a Miyota 8215 clone, although there are some notable differences.

Caliber 2813 is a Chinese movement, apparently produced by several factories such as Dixmont in Guangzhou (also Mingzhu, Nanning NN2813, Beijing). This explains why the caliber number is often written as DG2813.

Here is a quote from a 2813 seller:

“Professional 2813 watch movement. Fine and exquisite workmanship. Essential watch parts, convenient for you to replace watch movement.” –Source

The same seller also shows images of the 2813 with seems like fingerprints, debris, and even rust looking substance on the stem.

It’s not a bad movement to learn on. For the low price, you can practice taking it apart and putting it back together without worrying too much about damaging it.
