It’s a quartz movement, which is the easiest to fix & replace if needed.
Also, I’m doing this project by myself so I wanted it to be doable.

Understood. I should have been more specific - which quartz movement?
Miyota 2115
Definitely reliable and affordable - solid little unit.
That’s what I wanted most - Ive worked on automatic watches before but the equipment belonged to the shop and I can’t afford it on my own.
What I most like about this is that you can just pop another movement in and keep going.
One day down the line, I may roll out a line of automatics and use NH35 movements.
One step at a time my man! (no pun intended). Doesn't the 2115 mvt have a date wheel? You didn't want to have a date window option?
Now THAT is a pun from someone who knows watches! Nicely done!
It has a date wheel, but the NOSTR at 3 o’clock covers it.
I wanted the dial to be readable from a few feet away, and a small cut-out square would take away from the design.
: Correction :
I actually made a mistake, the movement is actually a Casio 2784, which is nice and durable for the price. I had read the wrong specs on these apparently. Sorry everyone!
I've produced watches, so I know the costs involved.
