**Miyota** is a Japanese watch movement manufacturer.

===== History =====
The modern Miyota company was established as a watch movement factory for [[Citizen Watch]] in [[1959]] in Miyota, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. In [[1980]], Miyota began offering movements for sale to other companies. In [[1981]], Miyota introduced [[Miyota 2035|Cal. 2035]], the signature movement for the company and the world's most-produced watch movement, with over 1.7 billion produced in [[1999]] and 3.6 billion by [[2005]]. By [[1986]], Miyota had risen to be the top watch movement producer in the world.

Miyota expanded the product line as well, adding analog [[complication]]s to the [[quartz]] base with the multi-function [[Miyota 6P|Cal. 6P]] in [[1989]] and [[Miyota 0S|Cal. 0S chronograph family]] in [[1992]]. They refined their line in the 2000s, bringing the slim [[Miyota GL|GM/GM family]] in [[2001]] and [[Miyota 2035|Super 2035]] in [[2005]]. The company had long produced the mechanical [[Miyota 8200|Cal. 8200 family]] but added a slimmer [[Miyota 9000|Cal. 9000 family]] of [[automatic]] movements in [[2009]].

Today, Miyota is a 65% subsidiary of [[Citizen]] Watch Co. Miyota is responsible for the production of mechanical movements at Citizen, and although their share is only about 1% of the total volume, at Miyota the incredible amount of 1.8 million mechanical movements per year is produced.

The movements of Miyota enjoy a good reputation among professionals and the Premium lines are deemed to be equivalent with traditional Swiss production.
