That movement is the ETA 7750 or, as it was formerly and still commonly known, the Valjoux 7750. It is a movement that inspires heated debate among watch connoisseurs,

First and foremost, gone is the traditional 7750 dial layout with 12-6-9 registers. Many brands are more inclined toward the ETA 7753 classic 3-6-9 configuration or in this instance, a balanced
Gerber used the 7750 as a base caliber, then added a second spring barrel to power the alarm, which was also wound by the movement''''s rotor, which was slightly enlarged and made heavier
