Beta 21 Quartz Movement

21 of the most important Swiss Maisons, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, IWC, Omega, and Piaget, came together in a consortium to create an entirely Swiss quartz movement and formed the Centre Electronique Horologer. In 1966, the best engineers and technicians in every canton of Switzerland created the first prototype of the movement, called “Beta-1“. Despite the state-of-the-art technology, it would take another three years of refinement to get the final version of the movement. The legendary Beta-21 movement was born in 1969, ready to send Swiss watchmaking into the 20th century. The Quartz movement, was hyper precise (+/-0.003 sec/day) and without the need for adjustments or maintenance, insensitive to gravity and with that hand that, a microscopical tick after the other (it may be mistaken for an automatic), sends everyone immediately into space.
