Reference sources reviewed 7 November 2026. Published specifications, not independent measurements. Versions and complete-watch specifications can differ; fields without a verified figure are omitted or identified.
What distinguishes it
Look beyond the reference.
The standard layout puts the minute counter at 12, elapsed hours at 6 and running seconds at 9. Cam-operated switching coordinates the chronograph without a column wheel.
For the enthusiast
This is the automatic SW500; calendar and counter executions vary. The reserve here follows Sellita’s technical documentation. Compare the SW510 for a different counter arrangement, and inspect the complete watch’s thickness rather than assuming that movement height determines it.
