The ETA 2836-2 adds a day-of-week display to the 2824-2 architecture and is the de facto Swiss industry standard for day-date complications at entry and mid-price levels. The same parts availability and technician familiarity that define the 2824-2 apply here. Hundreds of brands use it in everything from military-inspired field watches to affordable dress pieces.
