1920s Eterna Private Label Pocket Watch

1920s Eterna private label pocket watch.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, identified as an Eterna, which is working nicely. This watch was made as a private label, hence there is no Eterna name. The watch was made for

W E Watts & Co Ltd of Gloucestershire and they sold it under the brand name The Paladin, all as signed on the movement.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover, there is a small “ding” in this inner cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated. There is a small “ding” to the bezel and a little wear to the plate. The case back is showing signs of age and wear, with quite a lot of rubbing to the plate and some marking.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The white enamel dial has a faint hairline across the subsidiary seconds dial and a small patch of marking to the edge by number 9. Pin set blued steel hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
