The Sellita SW210-1 is the main competitor to the ETA caliber 2801-2, but with an additional 2 jewels. The official release date of this movement is unclear. However, current documentation for this caliber is dated 9/20/2018, so this movement is at least this old.
Some of the topics covered in this caliber listing:
SW210-1 VS SW215-1:
The caliber SW210-1 is based on the SW215-1. The only difference is that the SW215-1 has a date at 3:00 and the SW210-1 does not. Other than that, the specs are the same.
Finishes:
The caliber SW210-1 is available from Sellita in 3 different finishes: Standard, Refined, and Tailor-Made.
Standard Finish – Bulk sand-blasted and nickel plated. Options include engravings, blue screws, rhodium plated, gold plated.
Refined Finish – Bridges with Geneva stripes, main plate with circular graining, snailed crown-wheel, snailed ratchet, and rhodium plated. Options include engravings, blue screws, snailed barrel, gold plated.
Tailor-Made – Custom based on customer specs.
4 Grades of SW210-1:

- Standard – adjusted in two positions; accuracy of +/-12 sec/day up to +/- 30 sec/day
- Special (Elabore) – adjusted in three positions; accuracy of +/-7 sec/day up to +/- 20 sec/day

Power Reserve:
According to Sellita it takes a minimum of 23 turns to of the crown to wind this movement. Once fully wound, the average power reserve is about 42 hours.
Replacement Prices:
At the time of this post, replacement prices for the SW210-1 were found online for around $148.00 USD. This appears to be for the standard grade and standard finish.
