Era & Spirit: This Eterna watch, embodying the classic military elegance of the 1950s, perfectly blends functionality with vintage aesthetics.

Case: The case, in excellent condition, measures 30.8 mm in width, offering a notably larger presence on the wrist due to its domed shape, which enhances its robust appearance.

Bezel: The well-preserved silver bezel complements the dial, providing a delicate boundary that enhances its utilitarian design.

Dial & Indexes: The tropical dial shifts in shades from dark to pale brown, subtly reminiscent of a marshmallow under the sun, with clear indices ensuring optimal readability in true military style.

Movement: Equipped with a reliable automatic bumper movement, the watch maintains remarkable accuracy, underscoring the enduring quality of its internal mechanics.

Winding: The solid, very well-conditioned crown allows for easy and practical winding, typical of military-style watches.

Bracelet: The 16 mm bracelet fits perfectly between the lugs and could be advantageously replaced with a silver model to better match the rest of the watch, although the current clasp is gold.

Case Back: Engraved with the serial number 2887614, the case back ensures the watch’s authenticity and enhances its appeal as a collectible.

Glass & Crown: The standard glass of the era, while showing some scratches, remains in good overall condition and can be polished as needed to restore its initial clarity. It protects a dial that remains perfectly legible, while the crown continues to operate with precision and ease.

Legacy & Value: This Eterna is not just a time-measuring instrument; it is a piece of history, continuing to charm and function effectively. A service might be considered to enhance the precision and performance of the second hand.

Additional Note: The watch is sold as seen in the photos. Should you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to send me a message; I am always available to assist.
