Eterna Matic Serial Numbers Rating: 7,6/10 4030 reviews

Those who have spent some time browsing through this website will have gleaned that we are very interested in the technical evolution of the luxury wristwatch. From the pioneer days of World War I right up until the mid-1970s, there was a steady stream of innovations that filtered through to the products supplied by the top tier Swiss houses to the general public.

Eterna

Serial number look-up example: Let's say you have a Waltham watch with serial number 21,607,210 as shown in the photo below. Note that we're using the serial number from the watch movement, not from the watch case. Feb 15, 2017  The Kon Tiki watch I have has a movement numbered 1422 UD, and is from 1961. Tfile ru bistrij torrent download. Eterna chose to date their watches by movement numbers instead of serial numbers because they changed movement numbers so often as demonstrated by the fact that in 1961 alone.

The watches that featured these landmark developments are of great historical significance and because of this, we feel that they make very safe investments in the portfolio of any collector. For however long there is an interest in wristwatches, models like the Harwood, the first self-winding wristwatch, the early Rolex Oyster, the first really useable waterproof release and the Breitling Navitimer Chronomatic, the earliest automatic chronometer, will always be regarded as highly desirable. We have advised our customers to purchase these key models for more than twenty-five years and so far, those that have followed this route have seen a very impressive return on their outlay. This very attractive gentleman’s Eterna-Matic from 1952 fits squarely into the bracket of an important model and we cannot recommend it too strongly. Eterna was founded in 1856 and is probably best known today for its offshoot ETA, the corporate movement maker that supplies almost everyone, from IWC, Rolex and Longines through to Omega, with raw, unfinished movement blanks that can then be processed and refined as required. The situation is complex and too detailed to be dealt with in this description, but basically, Swiss law limits the activities of those brands selling complete watches in the field of movement-only supply in order to prevent monopolies emerging.

So Eterna sold finished watches under its own name and, in a rather contrived way, set up ETA as a legally separate entity, operating from the same facility, enabling the latter to sell movements to other concerns. What we do notice is that a common pattern developed, with the latest advances appearing first on Eterna watches, before these were applied to ETA movement production some time later. It would be an exaggeration to say that Eterna was a test bed for ETA, but clearly the lower volumes of manufacture involved with Eterna meant that it was realistic to experiment with new ideas before the financial commitment was made to gear up for large scale release of essentially the same products in ETA form. The watch here is so interesting because it contains the final revision of the first version of movements to ever have their automatic winding rotors pivoted on ball bearings, this being done to dramatically reduce friction, enabling the rotor to turn with the slightest motion of the wearer’s wrist.
