Stunning 1940’s Eterna Triple Calendar Gents Vintage Watch

The Overview

We are working with a UK based collector who has asked us to market a selection of his watches. As part of the offer each watch has had a full service and refurbishment by the UK’s leading watchmaker, Steven Hale Watch Restoration. Each watch will come with a 2 year guarantee from Steve Hale and a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity by Sonning Vintage Watches.

The Eterna story started in the 1850’s when 2 partners set up a company to make watch movements. in 1888 the sons of the founders expanded the company with over 300 employees making 180 watches a day and each dial was stamped Eterna. They created watches for the military and were the first company to create an alarm watch (40 years before Jaeger..).

This Eterna triple register day, date and month watch was made in the 1940’s and looks stunning. The solid steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minor signs of wear. The original Eterna ivory/cream dial has been professionally refinished to the highest possible standard and is simple beautiful. The very high grade Eterna signed manual wind movement is again in excellent condition and has been serviced by SHWR. To complete this beautiful piece we’ve added a new black Hirsch alligator skin strap with steel Hirsch buckle.
