Eeeb...the 2892A2 and the 2892-2 are the same...the A2 is a suffix used when a module is added which adds more functions...ie: Omega uses it as a base due to it's low profile when adding a module such as adding a chronograph feature like on the Dynamic..below is a pic of my Cattin which has no complications but uses the 2892A2 fully decorated...for a complete look at all movements and there uses you can refer to Dr.Rannfts movement page in the 3T links area...hope this helps Buddyhand6.gif Whoops... must have hit the wrong 'reply' button... this was ment as an answer to the question how many jewels does the ETA 2892-2 movement have?
....

The ETA 2892A2 --- a self winding mechanical movement with date as the only complication --- is probably the same as the ETA 2892-2 . This movement uses 21 jewels.  From what I am reading on the .net, this is about optimal for a mechnaical movement with self wind.

Full details at the following ETA site:
https://secure.eta.ch/CSP/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=3&tabid=28

From what I can see, it is not generally true that ETA skimps on the use of jewels.

I guess my question is, if the pivot is not jeweled, what is it?  Glass as is suggested above?  Metal as in really old cheap watches?
