The ETA 6497 is a manually wound movement produced by ETA SA, available in two variations: 6497-1 and 6497-2. Both variants share the same dimensions, contain 17 jewels, and display small seconds at 9:00. The -1 operates at 18,800 vph with approximately 44 hours of power reserve, while the -2 runs at 21,600 vph and delivers around 53 hours. The higher beat rate of the -2 makes it a common choice in Panerai watches, where it typically commands a premium.
