Explained
What the terms mean
Movement calibre
The calibre is the model number of the movement inside the watch. Swiss calibres such as 3235 or 4130 match the movement references used in the original watches, while 3A watches use Japanese Seiko or Miyota movements.
Power reserve
Power reserve is how long an automatic watch keeps running once fully wound, without being worn. A longer reserve means the watch is still running when you pick it up the next day.
Factory
Each grade is made by a different factory. 6A super clones come from specialist factories such as Clean, VSF, K1 and Z1, which match the size, weight and materials of the original most closely.
