Introduced in 1973, the Valjoux (now ETA) 7750 is a cam-operated automatic chronograph with a day/date calendar. It was based on the Valjoux 7733, which was itself a variant of the Venus 188. The Valjoux 7750 quickly ended production, only to be reborn in 1985 and has become one of the world’s leading watch movements since.

The ETA 7750 is available in Elabore, Top, and Chronometer grades, each with different specifications and materials used. The original Valjoux 7750 had 17 jewels, but modern versions typically have 25. Some versions list 24 jewels. The display layout is as follows:

• Central hour, minute, and chronograph seconds
• Day and date windows at 3:00
• 12 hour chronograph hand at 6:00
• Running seconds at 9:00
• 30 minute chronograph hand at 12:00
