Hegid's exclusive automatic calibre, announced in November 2024 and made in the French Jura by France Ebauches, the 1967 movement maker relaunched by the Festina group (owner of Soprod). Hegid and Europa Star say it was "developed on the basis of proven Soprod movements" but don't name the base calibre, so it has its own family here; the tier is set as for Soprod's other 11½-ligne automatics (P024, C125), since it is regulated to the brand's -4/+6 s/day claim, not COSC-certified. Brand specs: 11½ lignes, 4 Hz (28,800 vph), 44h power reserve, 151 components, 23 jewels, central hours, minutes and seconds with a semi-instantaneous date at 3 and quick date correction, stop-seconds, Incabloc double-cone shock protection, an openworked full (traversing) balance bridge, gilt openworked rotor engraved EVOLUTION, rhodium-plated mainplate engraved with the Hegid monogram and "CALIBRE SPECIMEN FE-01". Hegid says every capsule in its collections now uses it, replacing the Swiss Sellita SW200-H used until then. Diameter in mm, height and hand winding are not published.
