Kinness Talamh – Copper Field Watch with ETA 2824
Talamh (tall-aff) means “earth” in Gaelic—a fitting name for this rugged, copper-cased field watch built around the legendary Swiss ETA 2824 movement. Its brushed copper case ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina that mirrors the rugged landscapes of Scotland.
With clean, oversized numerals, vintage hands, and a buffed leather strap, the Talamh feels at home on a forest hike or the boardroom. Every piece is handcrafted in Scotland, and limited in number—making it a quiet statement of refined confidence.
– Self-winding, mechanical, 25 jewel Swiss ETA 2824 movement beating at 28800bph.
– The fully copper case features a screw-down crown and case back to improve water resistance. Over time, the case will develop a patina as unique as the adventures you take it on.
Case diameter – 39mm (42.5mm including crown)
Lug to lug – 48mm
Thickness – 13mm
Lug width – 20mm
– Sapphire crystal. There is a very slight dome to the crystal which adds to the vintage look.
– The minimalist pilot-style dial is fully lumed in green and is topped off with vintage-style sword hands which are lumed in orange.
– The strap is a thick, robust vintage leather band with a brass buckle. It will take a while to bed into the shape of your wrist, but it is extremely hard-wearing and should last a lifetime.
– Water resistant to 10ATM. As it has a copper case, too much water exposure might force the patina to develop unevenly. It will, however, survive a good rain shower with no issues at all.
ETA 2824
The ETA caliber 2824-2 is perhaps one of the most well-known and most recognized movements in the watch industry. It is also one of the most copied or “cloned” movements. It has been in production since 1982 and was based off of the original Eterna caliber 1427. The “-2” designation indicates that it is the 2nd generation in the evolution of the movement.
The 2824 is considered to be a “workhorse” movement by many watch enthusiasts. There is also a manual wind version of this movement, known as caliber 2804-2.
