To clarify the description, this does not have an in-house movement. The FC-303 movement is a Sellita SW200 with FC's customized rotor. If you want an FC with an in-house movement, look for one with an FC-700 or 900-series movement. We have a few FC/Alpina watches and they make a quality watch for the money.

LapYodaGreat, thank you for the confirmation ! So concretely that means that customizing a rotor gives them the right to rename the movement to their own sauce ? If that's the case shame on FC for making such smokescreen and mirror BS They could at least have it modified a bit.

Siberian_adventuresTo be fair, most, if not all, Swiss watch companies rename ETA and Sellita movements with their own designation after modifying the rotor and/or finishing the movements a little bit more. And FC has actually been pretty forthcoming in the past about their movement sourcing. They have never claimed that the FC-200 quartz or FC-300 automatic movement series were ever in-house. They even set up model lines specifically designating their in-house movements, which all have "Manufacture" in their names.
While many companies have long withheld the origin of their movements, FC has been one of the more transparent companies out there.
