I apologize if this has been brought up before but i could not find the thread. I was recently asked about my Minute Machine and who makes Oakley's watches for them. I have done some digging around and i cant find an answer. Are all the watches made by one manufacturer or are there different ones. Just curious if anyone knows.


Thanks

Several vendors provide different components for the watch. I forget who provides the dial, case/bracelet, hands etc., but Ronda makes the movement for the MM, Hollow Point, 12 Gauge::

Some others used Swatch Group brand movements such as ETA and Valjoux, so it depends on which watch you're asking about. The above movement is for the MM since you mentioned that model specifically.

Thanks for the info Oak! Do you have any information on the Blade II and on the automatic movements in the gearbox?

Haven't opened a Blade/Blade II so don't know about that, but I would expect it to be as basic a quartz movement can get. The automatic GB uses ETA 2824-2, same as in the TB II. An upper-low end/low-middle end beginner movement.
