B49 -- ETA 2896 (Generic 2896 picture) Specifications: Movement Type: Automatic Mechanical Base Movement: ETA 2896 Power Reserve: 42 Hours Complications: Big Date Watches using this caliber: Cockpit. Note: At least some of the ETA 2892 movements used in Breitling chronographs have been modified by the addition of a Chronograph module by Dubois/Depraz. It may seem odd, with so many different Breitling calibre numbers, that in reality, Breitling (apart from quartz calibres), mostly use only 4 movements. These are: ETA (previously Valjoux) 7750 ETA 2824 ETA 2834 ETA 2892 The ETA/Valjoux 7750, is currently the ONLY integrated chronograph movement used by Breitling. The remainder are all automatic movements with calendar complication. The ETA 2892/A2 whilst being a non chrono movement, is used by Breitling having been fitted with a modular mechanical chronograph module by Dubois/Depraz. The ETA 2892 A2/DD is used because of it's very small dimensions... even with a chronograph module fitted, it is one of the smallest chronograph movements in existence. It is the movement that is used in the more complicated chronographs, because its modular construction allows the fitting of other modules by Breitling Chronometrie, ie, moonphase, month, year, season etc. It is capable of being used as a QP (quantieme perpetual, or perpetual calendar) movement. You can always recognise a Breitling Chronograph fitted with the 2892, because of a 3mm offset between the crown, and the pushpieces. Some Breitling Chronometrie modifications also permit the 7750 to be fitted with some additional complications, though not as easily as the 2892A2/DD. The other two ETA movements 2824/2834 are used for the non chronograph modules, and are capable of being fitted with day/date modules, and other complications, where necessary.
