The Sellita SW-200 is basically a 2824 made by Sellita instead of ETA. The patents for the 2824 ended years ago, so effectively anyone can copy it's design, and that's exactly what Sellita did. In fact as a company, they used to be a 3rd party assembler for ETA for many years, so they know exactly what they're doing. As a result, the movements are identical except for the fact that the Sellita has an extra jewel, although that's in an area that the ETA version has never had a problem with anyway - the auto winding mechanism. Everything else is identical and as a result they are often used interchangeably in watches.
