Eterna Automatic watch featuring early automatic winding movement, aka ‘bumper’ or ‘hammer’ movement, cal 1076H from 1948.

The original dial has a light and even freckled patina and has gold numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, with gold dagger markers at the other hours. The case is classic Eterna style, with a solid gold cap top over a stainless steel body and case back. The cap is not hallmarked and so it is impossible to ascertain the carat quality of the cap.

It’s ø 34.5mm, a large size case for the era.
