ETA created this Cal. C01.211 based on the Lemania 5100 design. It was simplified and re-worked to be more attractive, with plates and bridges finished in a more refined manner. Additionally, jewel count was reduced to 15, operation slowed to 21,600 A/h, and the minute counter was moved to the 12:00 position.

Is the c01.211 a rare movement?

The only negatives I have about the c01.211 is that it should've carried over the 28,800 BPH and it should've kept the chrono minute hand on as a large hand as well. But, that's only minimal. As long it proves itself over time, then it might be a rare movement just like it's cousin; the 5100.
