Last updated: July 2026 dataAutomatic-winding mechanical wrist watches in base metal cases occupy the accessible end of the mechanical watch market — covering everything from entry-level automatics to mid-tier sport and dress watches — with Switzerland and Japan the leading US suppliers and Germany a notable third source. Unlike their precious-metal-cased counterparts in heading 910121, these watches are more broadly distributed through mainstream retail channels, making correct component classification especially important for importers sourcing movements, cases, and bands separately. The US schedule subdivides components across four jewel-count bands (no/one jewel; over 1 but not over 17 in two sub-series; over 17 in two sub-series), with separate lines for movements, cases, and bands at each tier. The automatic-winding designation — confirmed by the presence of a rotor mechanism — is the primary gate separating this heading from the manual-wind watches of 910229.

A movement that can be wound both automatically (via rotor) and manually (via crown) is classified as an automatic-winding movement, because the automatic function is present. Such movements and their associated watches fall under 910221 rather than the manual-wind heading. Importers should confirm the presence of the rotor mechanism in the manufacturer's technical specification to support this classification at entry.
Within the over-1-to-17-jewel range, the schedule provides two distinct series: 9102213010–9102213030 and 9102215010–9102215030. The distinction between these series reflects additional classification variables (such as case material sub-type or other tariff schedule criteria) that determine which series applies. Importers should work with a licensed customs broker to identify the correct series, as selecting the wrong one within the same jewel band can result in an incorrect duty rate.
