How does the upgrade of the V7 Factory IWC Mark XVIII titanium case to the Swiss SW300 movement differ from the ETA2892?

The IWC Wristwatch model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and ETA 2824-2 caliber architecture in accordance with Swiss norms. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

V7 Factory IWC Mark XVIII titanium case replica watch switches from ETA2892 movement to Swiss SW300 movement!

V7 Factory is a rising name in the replica watch industry. It owes its existence to being trapped in the replica industry through the Swiss mechanism. It is also a rich mechanism. Frankly, V7 Factory is mainly aimed at high-end watches. He doesn't hesitate to experiment with the mechanism, either. Even though its price is the highest, this does not reduce the desire of watch friends to buy it! Initially, the V7 used the ETA2892 movement. Starting around June, it started equipping the entire series with the SW mechanism. In fact, there is a very strong connection between these two mechanisms!

ETA is a factory affiliated with the SWATCH group, specialized in mechanism production. Its full name is ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse (French: Swiss ETA Watch Manufacturing Limited Company). The majority of watches under XXX on the market carry an ETA movement. However, ETA announced in 2013 that it would not provide mechanisms to brand manufacturers outside the group after December 31, 2019. Although this "sanction" is still constantly delayed at the moment, it really leaves brands outside the Swatch group on their toes. If the supply is interrupted, the entry-level products of those brands, that is, their best-selling models, will immediately go out of stock. This is definitely a dead end. In this case, it is necessary to look for a new alternative mechanism. When the quality control is almost the same, the most suitable option is none other than the SW mechanism.

Thus, dozens of brands, large and small, such as IWC, Chopard, Montblanc, Baume & Mercier, Raymond Weil, Breitling, TAG Heuer, started using the SW movement. SW is the product model prefix of Sellita company. Prior to 2003, Sellita was a major contract manufacturer of ETA's three core movements. When the patent protection of some movements expired, Sellita released its own SW series movements by "retouching" movements such as 2824, 2836, 2892, 7750 with the experience of years of contract manufacturing for ETA movements. In short: SW200 corresponds to 2824. SW220 corresponds to 2836. SW300 corresponds to 2892. SW360 corresponds to 2895. SW500 corresponds to 7750. Everyone understands so far: SW mechanism and ETA mechanism are not much different from each other in terms of quality. One reason is that Sellita has been doing contract manufacturing for ETA for years. The second reason is that so many brands use the SW mechanism and the mechanism has been tested for several years. Moreover, since the structure of the SW mechanism is derived from the ETA mechanism, the high similarity makes the mechanisms of these two series appear almost exactly the same. The ex-factory prices of the movements of these two brands are very close to each other as of this year.

In summary, watch lovers do not need to worry about which company's movement the watch they buy carries. First-class big brands also impose some strict requirements to protect their brand value. Also, when we compare ETA and SW in terms of technical parameters, everything is the same between 2892 and SW300 except the number of stones. In particular, the thickness and diameter of the mechanism are the same. This means that IWC did not need to make any changes to other parts after switching to the SW300; It can be attached and used directly. This time, the V7 Factory IWC Mark XVIII replica watch is equipped with the Swiss SW300 movement. This mechanism is also a very powerful mechanism going forward. It's also an upgrade following the original!
