Swiss Made vs Swiss Movement
The difference between the two designations, and which Arvell references carry which.
Swiss Made refers to the complete watch and its legally defined origin. Swiss Movement (often "Swiss Movt" on the dial) means only the movement is Swiss - the watch as a whole does not meet the full Swiss Made requirements.
Neither designation is "better marketing" - they are defined terms, and using them correctly matters. Most of the catalog is Swiss Made; exceptions are named openly below.
