Notes

Often found in clamshell versions, early Eterna chronographs are rarely found with screwback cases. Bought by the original owner in the mid-forties, the watch is in excellent condition with only light scratches, a perfect original dial and its even rarer 38 mm case. A perfect example for the discerning collector
