What can replace the ETA 2836-2

7 calibres of the ETA 28xx and Sellita SW200 / SW300 group checked against the ETA 2836-2: diameter, height, hand holes, date window, crown and dial feet. A verdict marked “not confirmed” lacks one of those figures for the ETA 2836-2 or the other calibre.

Not published, so not checked in several comparisons:

  • hand holes for ETA 2836-2, SW220-1, ETA 2824-2, ETA 2892-A2, ETA 2893-2, SW300-1 and SW330-2
  • crown position for ETA 2836-2, SW220-1, ETA 2824-2, ETA 2892-A2, ETA 2893-2, SW200-1, SW300-1 and SW330-2
  • dial feet for ETA 2836-2, SW220-1, ETA 2824-2, ETA 2892-A2, ETA 2893-2, SW300-1 and SW330-2
