Agelocer Movements by Model: Which Calibre Is in Your Watch?

Ask which movement is "the" Agelocer calibre and you're asking the wrong question — the brand fits at least eight different ones across its catalog, and the model name on the dial tells you more than any generic spec sheet can. The Baikal and Astronomer run one calibre, the Racing and Volcano run two others, and the tourbillons split into two manual-wind families that are easy to confuse. This is the model-by-model reference.

Agelocer calibres at a glance

Eight calibres, eight model lines, and reserves that range from 40 to 80 hours depending on which one you buy. The table below pulls every spec Agelocer publishes for each calibre, with the in-stock model(s) that carry it.

Reading the columns: jewels are synthetic ruby bearings that cut friction at the movement's pivots; vph is how many times the balance wheel beats per hour (28,800vph is 4Hz, or eight ticks a second); and power reserve is how long a fully wound watch runs before it stops. An automatic winds itself from wrist movement through a rotor (see how an automatic watch works), while a manual calibre has to be wound by hand. A flying tourbillon carries its rotating cage from one side only, with no bridge across the top; a free-sprung balance is regulated by weights on the balance wheel rather than a regulator lever; and a double barrel means two mainsprings instead of one.

Who makes Agelocer movements, and are they really in-house?

Agelocer states that its calibres are developed and assembled in-house, but that claim comes from the brand, not from an independent movement inspection, and none of the product pages document who machines the raw components. Agelocer's own promotional material also describes working with "industry-leading watch factories", without saying which parts of a movement are made where. Treat "in-house" as brand-stated rather than verified fact until a third party confirms it. For the fuller provenance picture, read where Agelocer watches are made and our honest look at the brand.

What the catalog does confirm, model by model, is the calibre number, whether it's hand-wound or automatic, and the power reserve and jewel count Agelocer chooses to publish. That's a narrower claim than "fully in-house," but it's the part you can actually check against your own watch's product page — which is the point of the table above.

What movement is in the Agelocer Astronomer and Baikal?

Both run the automatic Cal.A4610: a self-winding calibre Agelocer lists at 27 jewels with an 80-hour power reserve. It's in the Baikal Marble Dial ($339, 40mm, 10.5mm thick, 77g) and the Astronomer Galaxy Moonphase Diamond ($469, 40mm, 11mm thick, 82g), both under a 50m rating.

Same calibre, two different jobs. The Baikal uses it to drive a simple three-hand layout with a large date window, while the Astronomer pairs central hour and minute hands with a panoramic moonphase display, with no seconds hand or date listed. An 80-hour reserve means either watch keeps running through a full weekend off the wrist without needing a reset on Monday — see our longer piece on what that's actually worth. The Astronomer's moonphase accuracy is its own separate question; our Astronomer review covers that in detail, and the Baikal's sizing and strap options are broken down in the Baikal review.

Agelocer Baikal Marble Dial, $339 — Cal.A4610 automatic, 80-hour reserve, 40mm, 77g.

The Cal.A4610 movement as fitted in the Astronomer Galaxy, $469 — same calibre as the Baikal.

Cal.A4710 and A4910: the Schwarzwald skeleton calibres

The Schwarzwald Double-Sided Skeleton ($299–$329) runs the automatic Cal.A4710, listed at 27 jewels with an 80-hour reserve, in a 40mm case just 9.5mm thick and 68g. The smaller women's Schwarzwald Skeleton (36mm, $169) runs a related but different calibre, Cal.A4910, for which Agelocer does not publish a reserve figure on that product page.

Both are automatic skeletons showing the movement from front and back — worth noting because a double-sided skeleton needs a finished movement on both faces, not just a cutaway dial side. If you're deciding between the men's and women's Schwarzwald, or want the full range including the ceramic-bezel version, our Schwarzwald review sorts the whole line by case size and price.

Cal.A4710 in the Schwarzwald Double-Sided Skeleton, from $299 — 27 jewels, 80-hour reserve.

What is the Agelocer Cal.A5505, and does it have an 80-hour power reserve?

Yes — Agelocer lists Cal.A5505 at 35 jewels, 28,800 vph and an 80-hour power reserve, and it's the automatic calibre in the Volcano Carbon Fibre ($439). That equals the longest reserve Agelocer claims for any automatic in this guide: the same 80 hours as the A4610 and A4710, which sit in watches starting at $299.

The Volcano Carbon Fibre pairs that movement with a 44.3mm carbon fibre case on a rubber strap, weighing 120g. It's a sportier, larger watch than the Baikal or Schwarzwald, and at 120g it is not dramatically lighter than steel: the 44mm steel Racing Hollow weighs 123g on leather. Buy the carbon case for the look, not for a weight saving. For the rest of the Volcano range and its other case options, see our Volcano review.

Cal.A5505 in the Volcano Carbon Fibre, $439 — 35 jewels, 28,800vph, 80-hour reserve.

Cal.A3350 and Cal.A5500: the shorter-reserve automatics

Not every Agelocer calibre claims 80 hours. The Space Station Luminous Diamond ($399) runs Cal.A3350 at a published 40-hour reserve, and the Racing Hollow ($299) runs Cal.A5500 at 42 hours with 28 jewels. Both are automatic, both are three-hand watches with extra functions layered on top.

The Space Station adds a 42mm case with a two-way automatic winding system and diamond-set accents at 95.6g; the Racing Hollow is a 44mm skeleton with 24-hour indication and a luminous dial at 123g. A 40–42 hour reserve means either watch can sit off the wrist for about a day and a half before it needs winding or a wrist-shake to restart — roughly half the Volcano's claim, which is worth knowing before you assume every Agelocer automatic behaves the same way. Full model-by-model detail on the Space Station is in our Space Station review, and the Racing Hollow's closest sibling is compared in Racing Hollow vs Racing Square.

Cal.A5500 in the Racing Hollow, $299 — 28 jewels, 42-hour reserve, 50m water resistance.

Are Agelocer tourbillons automatic or manual wind?

Manual wind. Every Agelocer tourbillon covered in this guide — the Free-Sprung Tourbillon Leather (Cal.A9001) and the 3D-Manta (Cal.9301) — is hand-wound, with no automatic rotor. With no rotor to top up the mainspring as you move, the watch runs only as long as you keep it wound by hand: up to 80 hours on Cal.A9001 and 60 on Cal.9301, by Agelocer's figures.

That's consistent with how Agelocer builds its tourbillon line generally, not a quirk of these two models specifically. If you're new to owning one, our guide to winding and setting a tourbillon walks through the routine without risking the movement, and what a tourbillon actually does explains the complication itself before you commit to one.

Cal.A9001 manual movement in the Free-Sprung Tourbillon Leather, $999 — 25 jewels, 80-hour reserve.

What is the difference between Cal.A9001 and Cal.9301?

Both are manual-wind flying tourbillon calibres, but they're not the same movement. Cal.A9001, in the $999 Free-Sprung Tourbillon Leather, publishes 25 jewels and an 80-hour reserve. Cal.9301, in the $1,499 3D-Manta, uses a double barrel and runs at 28,800vph (4Hz) — but its published reserve is 60 hours, 20 hours shorter despite the double barrel.

That's the honest part worth flagging: a second barrel is usually associated with a longer reserve, not a shorter one, so the 3D-Manta's 60-hour figure against the A9001's 80 hours (Agelocer publishes no barrel count for that calibre) is a genuine inconsistency in what Agelocer publishes, not something we can resolve from the spec sheets alone. If reserve length matters more to you than the 3D-Manta's sculpted bridge design, the A9001-equipped model wins that comparison outright. On the wrist they are close: both are 40mm steel cases, the 3D-Manta 9.45mm thick and 65g with a 50m rating, the Free-Sprung Tourbillon Leather 10mm thick and 66.8g with no water-resistance figure published. We've gone deeper on exactly this trade-off in our 3D-Manta review.

Cal.9301 in the 3D-Manta, $1,499 — double barrel, 28,800vph, 60-hour reserve.

Which Agelocer watch has the longest power reserve?

Three calibres tie at the top of what's published: Cal.A4610, Cal.A4710 and Cal.A5505 all claim 80 hours, found in the Baikal and Astronomer Galaxy ($339–$469), the Schwarzwald Double-Sided Skeleton (from $299) and the Volcano Carbon Fibre ($439). The manual-wind Cal.A9001 in the $999 tourbillon matches that figure too.

So the longest reserve isn't locked to the highest price — the $299 Schwarzwald matches the $999 tourbillon's claimed 80 hours, just with an automatic rotor doing the winding instead of your hand. For a wider shortlist of 80-hour watches across other brands we carry, see our 80-hour power reserve roundup.

What doesn't Agelocer publish, and why does that matter?

Agelocer leaves the vibration frequency out of its written specs for Cal.A4610, A4710, A5500, A3350 and A9001, shows most jewel counts in product imagery rather than the spec tables, lists none in the specs for A3350 or Cal.9301 (the 3D-Manta's caseback is engraved with 21 jewels, but its written specs omit the figure), and gives no reserve figure at all for Cal.A4910 in the women's Schwarzwald. None of that means the movement is worse — it means you can't compare those specific numbers across models the way you can for the calibres that do publish them.

It matters because a spec sheet with gaps is still more honest than one that fills those gaps with a plausible-sounding guess. When you're comparing an Agelocer model against another brand's watch, compare only the figures both product pages actually state, and treat anything missing as unknown rather than assuming it matches the brand's best-case numbers elsewhere in the range.

Which calibre should you choose? Picks by what you care about

If reserve length is your priority, pick an 80-hour calibre: the Baikal at $339, the Schwarzwald from $299, or the Volcano Carbon Fibre at $439 all claim it on an automatic. If you want a genuine hand-wound complication and can live with 80 hours rather than more, the Free-Sprung Tourbillon Leather at $999 beats the pricier 3D-Manta on that one number.

If the moonphase display matters more than reserve length, the Astronomer Galaxy at $469 runs the same A4610 as the Baikal, trading the Baikal's seconds hand and date window for the moonphase. If you want the most distinctive case architecture regardless of reserve, the 3D-Manta at $1,499 is the one built around a sculpted bridge rather than a spec-sheet number. For a side-by-side of the entire catalog rather than just these calibres, our best Agelocer picks for 2026 covers the rest of the range.

Can an Agelocer movement be serviced?

Agelocer's own warranty and servicing terms, rather than anything printed on a movement, govern what support is available after purchase — the specifics (coverage period, what's included) are laid out in full in our Agelocer warranty and servicing guide rather than repeated here. None of the calibre pages in this post make separate servicing claims beyond that.

Before you buy, it's worth reading that servicing guide alongside this one — a watch with an 80-hour claim and a $299 price tag is only a good buy if you also know what happens when it eventually needs attention. The movement specs in the table above tell you what you're buying; the warranty page tells you what happens after.
