Tenax / ETA 2485 Watch Movement – 17 Jewels – With Dial, Hands, Crown & Stem – Vintage
📌 Description
Vintage Tenax / ETA 2485 mechanical watch movement with 17 jewels. This is a complete assembly including the dial, hands, crown, and stem — ready to be cased by a watchmaker or used for parts.
The movement is not branded on the dial. When wound, the movement started working, and the balance moves freely. Due to age, it is still offered as a parts or project movement.

🔍 Compatibility & Use — For Reference Only
The ETA 2485 belongs to the wider ETA 248x family of hand‑wound Swiss movements. Movements in this series were commonly used in many mid‑century and 1970s Swiss watches, especially private‑label and department‑store brands.
Based on known usage of the ETA 248x family, similar calibers have been seen in watches from:
- Tenax
- Helbros
- Gruen (various Swiss‑made models)
- Wittnauer (select hand‑wind models)
- Benrus (Swiss mechanical lines)
- Armitron (Swiss mechanical era)
- Private‑label Swiss brands from the 1960s–1970s
- Jewelry‑store and department‑store Swiss watches
*These brands used ETA 248x‑series movements in various models, but this does not guarantee compatibility with this specific ETA 2485 unit. Always verify dimensions, dial feet, stem height, and hand sizes before installation.*
*Compatibility information is provided strictly for reference and should not be considered a guaranteed fit for any specific watch case or model.*

I have bought few watches from them and recommend them if you are looking to buy a watch. I as actually able to buy few watches from them that were not listed on their website. Apparently they have a lot of inventory that doesn’t even make it to the website. So if your are looking for vintage watches, you might want email them, if you can’t find it on the site.
Thank you for all the help Raymin.
