ETERNA 50's / ETERNA

Introducing the 1950s "Eterna".

Founded in Grenchen, Switzerland in 1856 , Eterna is a long-established brand known for its precision watchmaking and innovative technological development.
When the company was first founded, it began by supplying pocket watch movements, and later expanded into manufacturing its own wristwatches.

The Eterna-matic, released in 1948 , was a revolutionary automatic winding mechanism that used ball bearings on the rotor shaft, dramatically reducing wear and improving winding efficiency.

This innovation influenced many manufacturers later on and laid the foundation for Eterna's name to be etched in the history of Swiss watches.

Eterna is also the parent company of ETA and is known as one of the brands that supported the Swiss watch industry.

This classic hand-wound model, manufactured in the 1950s , impresses with its elegance and exquisite finish.

The dial is based on a soft white tone, with a special embossed wavy pattern only on the outer edge.
This delicate design reflects light softly, creating a unique expression with depth.

The indexes are a classic and orderly design that combines flying Arabic numerals and wedge shapes.
The three-dimensional and gorgeous gold color adds a touch of luxury, and the dolphin hands of the same color harmonize beautifully with the white dial.

It has a small second hand at 6 o'clock, and a delicate concentric pattern gives the entire watch an elegant finish.

The case is round and made of stainless steel.
The biggest feature of this particular watch is that it features a large 40mm case, which was extremely rare for the 1950s .
Although it was an unusual size for the time, its slim design and smooth lines make it fit naturally on the wrist.

This is a watch with a strong presence, combining quiet power and elegance.

The movement is a hand-wound type.

This in-house manufactured movement combines a robust structure with high precision, and its smooth winding feel and stable operation demonstrate the high level of technology at the time.

Case size: height: 46mm , width: 40mm , thickness: 10.1mm , weight: 47g .

This watch features a warm white dial and a large 40mm case.

It has a moderate presence while maintaining an elegant look, and blends naturally with shirt and jacket styles, as well as casual wear such as knitwear and work jackets.

It has a classic yet contemporary balance, giving your wrist a quiet personality.

The case is in good condition with no noticeable scratches.
The dial is also clean and corrosion-free, and remains in excellent condition.
The movement is running smoothly and there are no problems with use.

All watches sold in our store are inspected internally by a professional watch mechanic upon arrival and are only sold after being determined to be genuine, so you can use them with confidence.


When you purchase a watch, we will ship it to you with a brand new leather strap.

We will also include a special case for the watch when shipping.

Please be sure to read the following information after purchasing an antique watch.

When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand over the watch to you upon receiving your order. Instead, we have a professional overhaul (hereinafter referred to as OH) the watch, and then we deliver it to you after the OH is completed. (This takes about 1-2 months.)

Our specialized craftsmen, who are first-class watch repair technicians, will completely disassemble your watch, replace worn parts such as internal gaskets, clean it, oil it, and perform a thorough overhaul, maintaining it to a daily accuracy of about ±1 minute.
When we deliver the machine to you, we will also send you our own overhaul certificate, which will show you what kind of overhaul work was done on the machine, as well as photos of the machine being disassembled and serviced.

Of course, since the product itself is a second-hand item, there is no guarantee that it will never break, but we ask for your understanding that we have taken this approach so that you can enjoy the watch's inherent performance and use it with peace of mind in the future.

When you purchase a product, we offer a one-year warranty depending on the model. Even if the warranty period has expired, we will still repair the product, but there will be a fee. Even if there is no repair shop nearby, please feel free to contact us.
