What is the difference between ETA caliber 2824-2 and 2804-2?
Both of these calibers are mechanical movements, but the main difference between them is that the ETA 2824-2 is an automatic and the 2804-2 is a manual-wind movement.
Any other differences?

Height
The ETA 2804-2 is 3.35mm VS the 2824-2 at 4.6mm. The difference in height is due to the automatic wind unit on the 2824-2, making it a taller movement.
The 2804-2 has 17 jewels and the 2824-2 has 25 jewels. Again, this is do to the addition of the automatic device framework.
