ETA currently supplies Swatch and associates only as per a trade agreement. And I agree, The ETA version were tanks and ran very well. I have a newer SO42 with the Sellita and seems to be running very well so far (about +1.5spd). Breitling does "tune" the base movements pretty well. I have no worries. Keep in mind that ALL Breitling movements are COSC certified chronometers.
I am a HUGE fan of Breitling, and will remain so.

This is not true! I purchased a 2020 SO 42 as well as an Avenger of the same year. Both have ETA 2824-2 movements. They may have changed later, but as of 2020, ETA’s were still being used. I do know that the new SO’s no longer use the ETA movements.
