Watch: Gents 1972 Eterna-matic Wristwatch

The watch has a 25-jewel Eterna calibre 1543 automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement has the serial number 6161234 which dates it back to 1972. The watch measures 37mm wide excluding the winding crown and 38mm high excluding the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just light surface marking, nothing serious at all. The inside of the screw-on case back is signed with the Eterna name. The lens has light scratching (there is a lot of reflection and shadow in the photos). The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and centre seconds sweep. There is also a day date display (the day is in Portuguese). The day is set by winding the hands forwards and the date is quickset at first position. A later stainless steel bracelet has been fitted. It currently fits an 18cm wrist or there is room on the clasp to make it around 1.5cm smaller. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
