the eta 2801 and 2804 are mechanical movements handcrankers not automatichand6.gif....there is no variation I have ever heard of in the eta 2824 auto family w/17j unless some Asian clone has popped up ;)
Hi Murphy!
The 2801-2 and 2804-2 have both 17 jewels. They are considered as "2824 lite" and used in entry level automatic watches.
I've also seen many watches with the "17 jewels 2824 ETA movement" label (Trias, Certina, Auricoste, Rado, RLT ... ). I don't know if these are in fact 2801-2 or 2804-2, or if there was one day a modified version of the 2824 with only 17 jewels...
Cheers!
