What is the difference between the two movements? ETA2895-2 / ETA2895-1? Both have the date window at the 3H both have small seconds at the 6H.

Hi Matt, the 2895-1 is based on the 2892-2 and the 2895-2 is based on the 2892A2. The differences between the 2892-2 and 2892A2 were mainly winding efficiency and evolution in ETAs manufacturing process (balance spring attachment, etc). More detailed differences in this article.

However, it is interesting to note that the 2892-2 and 2892A2 both have 21 jewels, but the 2895-1 has 30 jewels and the 2895-2 has 27 jewels.

The 2895-2 caliber listing is on the schedule.

Are you looking to do a swap?

Not a swap. I just bought a 2895-2 movement. Making my own build. But cannot find a dial for a 2895-2 to fit my watch case. (29mm dial). ETA specks sheet does not specify where the small seconds post is located from the main. But SW360-1 does have this info. Thanks for your reply.
