The ETA Unitas 6497 is a manual-winding movement used as the primary caliber for Benzinger's hand-engraved watches. It belongs to the Unitas family and is based on the ETA 6497-1, a historically significant movement originally designed for pocket watches. The movement features a small seconds subdial positioned at 9 o'clock. It remains in production and is specifically selected by Benzinger for its compatibility with the brand's engraving work.
