Notes

Often found in clamshell versions, early Eterna chronographs are rarely found with screwback cases. Bought by the original owner in the midforties, 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.
