SANDOZ Singapore, Swiss Made***
About Sandoz Singapore (Pan Asia) Co. Ltd.
Sandoz Singapore watches seem to be a separate entity and a Singapore based
company which is not related at all with
Sandoz Watch Co. Ltd. (Far East) or
Sandoz Hong Kong.
I base this assumption on the fact, that the watch cases are different, the
bracelets are different, the signature on the safety-loop of the diver's clasp
is different, the logo is different. Also Singapore DayDate-likes look entirely
different then their "relatives" from Sandoz Hong Kong. Also the packaging is
different. Sandoz Singapore uses green boxes (a picture is below) for all their
watches. The same green by the way that
Sandoz of Switzerland is using. I have also
never seen a Sandoz Singapore watch model for sale in Hong Kong and vice versa.
The two companies only connection seems to be the name Sandoz.
I have collected all the common features of Sandoz Singapore watches in the
features box
further down.

As to the often asked question about whether or not Sandoz Singapore watches are in fact Swiss Made as the dial inscription "Swiss Made" or "Swiss" implies, I can only state what I have summarized in the box below.
| *** Swiss Made: We can not assure that
the
FHS Swiss
Made Definition is 100% fulfilled. But we can clearly see that
the dials and cases of the Singapore watches are of a higher grade. Also they
use sapphire crystals for all of their models' front crystal and offer
screw-down crowns for all their models. Also Sandoz Singapore does
not reveal the location of manufacturing. A couple of years ago, Swiss customs had withheld Sandoz Singapore models just for that reason and released the watches after 3 weeks. Thus we concluded if Swiss customs let the watches pass as Swiss Made then they probably do fulfull the FHS Definitions. |
The
Sandoz brand name is owned by different businesses in different locations
While I was trying to find more information
about the Sandoz brand, I found a reference to a Korean collaboration. Obviously
some QUARTZ models were produced with a Korean partner called RABAN. But those
were only Quartz watches and completely different models. I also find a website
and a brochure from a Sandoz company with yet another logo obviously located in
Spain. Have a look at
www.munreco.com and check it out yourself. It seems that the rights
to the brand name Sandoz have been sold to different partners in
different locations. Sandoz Swiss, Sandoz Hong Kong (Far East), Sandoz
Singapore and Sandoz Spain (Munreco) are all producing a different product
line and seem to be independent holders of the Sandoz name and
businesses. There are also different logos for Sandoz being used.
About the major differences between
watches from Sandoz Singapore and Sandoz Hong Kong
Sapphire crystals, larger crowns and more
luxurious boxes are the main differences to the SANDOZ watches assembled in
Hong Kong. The Singapore models use the very similar gold-colored ETA 2824-2
while their
Hong Kong counterparts
use mostly the 2836-2. Of course both the 2824-2 and the 2836-2 are very similar
movements, they are both based on the 2824-1 architecture.

This information applies to all
40 mm Sandoz SINGAPORE Sub-likes
with a black bezel insert : We have been selling Sandoz Singapore Diver's for a couple of years now and we have received several requests to supply bezel inserts. Also the most careful watch wearer will eventually scratch a bezel insert. We were never able to receive single bezel inserts as spare parts (Sandoz spare part policy), but we have decided to measure the bezel dimensions and thus make your eventual search for a bezel insert easier! Outer diameter is 37.50 mm, inner diameter is 31.50 mm. Of course we will continue our search and look for a quality aftermarket bezel insert. So please watch this space for news. |

SANDOZ - ETA 2824-2 and 2836-2 User Manual Instructions |
| SANDOZ Singapore ETA
Movements: Thanks to Mike I. who has just mailed me and re-opened his watch: the Singapore Submariner-likes use the ETA Movement 2824-2. All ETA Movements 2824-2 and 2834-2 and 2836-3 are very similar and all based on the robust and reliable workhorse Caliber 2824. I try to complete the information on what is actually inside each watch as I get that information. Based on Mike's information I am pretty sure, the above information is correct. The 2836-2 is an Automatic movement with 25 Jewels, Incabloc shock protection, it is handwing and hacking, that means if you pull the crown out to position 2 (time setting mode), then the second hand will stop. This feature is required for Military watches in order to synchronize the time of a team. |
