FAQ
Is the ETA 2824-2 automatic or manual?
The ETA 2824-2 is an automatic (self-winding) movement: a rotor winds the mainspring from the motion of your wrist, so it needs no battery. It can also be wound by hand via the crown.
What is the power reserve of the ETA 2824-2?
About 38 hours on a full wind — enough to run overnight off the wrist, though a day or two idle will let it stop until you wear or wind it again. Power reserve is how long the ETA 2824-2 keeps running once you stop wearing or winding it.
Does the ETA 2824-2 hack (stop the seconds when you set it)?
Yes. Pulling the crown stops the seconds hand, so the ETA 2824-2 can be set precisely to a reference time before you push the crown back in. Hacking is what lets you sync several watches — or a watch and a phone — to the exact second.
Does the ETA 2824-2 have a date function?
Yes — the ETA 2824-2 can drive a date display, though whether a given watch actually shows the date depends on the dial the maker chose, so check the individual model rather than the movement.
