Gents Eterna-matic 3000 Automatic Wrist Watch, 1963

Gents Eterna-Matic 3000 automatic wrist watch, 1963.

The watch has a 21-jewel automatic movement, calibre 1466U, which is working nicely. You can sometimes sense the rotor moving around. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 4,946,277 which dates it back to 1963.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the later winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold capped while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. The case is gold capped which means a generous layer of 14k gold has been applied to the front of the case and the bezel is solid 14k gold. The case is in good condition, just light marking but nothing too serious at all, and a little scratching to the back.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in lovely original condition with original hands, centre seconds date display (initially set by pulling and pushing the crown).

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in its Eterna-Matic 3000 presentation box and Eterna Certificate of Origin (although the previous owner has removed the back page for privacy reasons).

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).
