·Dear OF,
In case you didn't know, Eterna is one of the 'big three'!
And today you can obtain a great example from 1953. This is an uncommon reference of which I've seen only a handful around and two of those once belonged to @Tony C.; this specific example, and a gold capped one he listed here on OF recently.
The most striking aspect of this watch to me is the pearlescent shine of the dial, which is showcased very well in the video below. Furthermore, the hour markers are incredibly shiny and the way they catch the light resembles the quality in finishing of my 15 year younger Grand Seiko. This great package is topped off with the classic 1950s Eterna red tipped seconds hand.
In harsh sunlight and macro magnification, you can tell the pearlescence is no illusion.
The high grade in-house chronometer movement make for very accurate wearing, even today. The watch was serviced approx. 1,5 years ago. The case has unique lugs and the original hidden crown. The hands show corrosion but that is overstated in these pictures; I highly recommend you watch the video.
