Standard 2893 it is not up to the standards of your Ventura GMT.  Sorry I had the backs off of both watches at the same time and was looking at the wheel and assembly of the COSC DOXA and answered this wrong the first time.  With my specs off the both look the same when not under magnification.

Thanks for showing photos of the movement. It's not a chronometer grade ETA 2893-2,  just a regular 2893-2 movement. To be chronometer grade it must have the flare spoke on the balance wheel. Picture below

Cronometer grade 2893-2 that has not been sertified with custom decoration.  They may have learned from the 600 T-Graph.  Same movement as your Ventura GMT COSC O.  I will try to get the spec sheet and down load it from ETA.

Thanks for the peek under the hood. Isn't the movement the 2893-1? GMT function and 21 jewels...

That is what I was explaining I had my glasses off and got the 2 Doxas mixed up.  If you read the post you will read that.  My magnifiers are opticaly corrected and custom ground in my lab, I use a robotic Zeiss lane to refract with and got my custom mags ground with cylander.  Can not see shit with out glasses on.
