With the end of patents for majority of mechanical ETA movements the market has started to see a greater number of alternative clone movements based in designs now over 40 years old.
One of such movements is the Seagull ST2130 Automatic movement based in the ETA 2824-2 movement and with majority of its parts interchangeable with the ETA 2824-2, Sellita SW200 and Hangzhou 6300 movements.
Tianjin Seagull is one of worlds biggest watch movement manufacturers and has expanded its market considerably in the last years occupying nowadays a position that used to belong to ETA in the past as supplier of ebauche and watch movements to many players in the industry.
Seagull has managed to capture part of the Swiss mechanical movements market being one of the suppliers of Valanvron for mechanical watch movements based in patent expired ETA designs mainly the VAL24, VAL36 and VAL92 movements together with Hangzhou. Valanvron purchases ebauches from this companies and refines those in Switzerland with over 50% of value of movement added in Switzerland (as can be found on wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Made#The_50.25_Rule_for_Swiss_Made_watches)
