Vintage 10½-ligne hand-wound Swiss caliber, made from the late 1960s until about 1982 (Caliber Corner). Caliber Corner: Ø23.3mm, 3.1mm high, 17 jewels, 21,600 vph, 44 hours, lift angle 52°, Incabloc, hand sizes 1.40 / 0.80 / 0.20; hours and minutes, "also available with a small seconds hand"; the 7046 adds a date and the 7057 a day and date. Caliber Corner calls the ETA 7001 its successor, but the 7001 is thinner (2.5mm), so it is kept as its own family here. The Timefactors watches that use it (Smiths PRS-35 and PRS-36) show small seconds at 6. No factory sheet or accuracy figure found; whether it hacks is not stated. Tier set to upper alongside the Peseux/ETA 7001.
