I wonder why they choose to use ETA 7750 instead of 2894
Not that 2894 is better. Just wonder why they did the switch. Or is it the larger version of 7750 (don't remember its name)
Still don't like the look of the watch.

Interestingly, the watch itself doesn't look bad in the steel. When I first saw the publicity photos, I was wondering what in the heck UN was thinking when they designed it. The colors were garish and the look almost cartoonish. Completely unsuited to UN which, among other strengths, has some of the best overall designed watches in the business.
Handling the watch at my local retailer I was struck first with how heavy it is. It's also a thick watch, probably more than 14mm. This helped UN pull off the dial's 3-D effect, with hands and subdials clearly differentiated in height. It also helped to blend the colors together in a way that was pleasing instead of corny. I'm still not clear where this watch stands with respect to the rest of their line-up, but at least it's not anywhere near as ugly as the photos would suggest.
Having said all that, I still think this thing is overpriced by a good thirty percent. There's a LOT of significant competition for sport chronographs in the $10k range, not to mention the $5-$7k range where the steel version of this watch should appropriately reside.

It is the 7753 variant ...
... but reduced to bi-compax. The reason for this switch from the 2894 to the 7753 is not entirely clear to me, but I assume it has to do with the availablility of the movements, that has become a serious issue within the watch industry. It is not possible to just establish a movement production line within a short time, all those who believed and tried this failed. As a result, there is still not much aside ETA; and these have reached their output limits. Sellita, LJP and all others have an output of homeopathic size only.
