    Happened across this at a yard sale today. I know of the Eterna Brand but have no idea what model this is or how old it is. Anyone have any ideas??

    I was going to say exactly the same thing. Sweet watch.
    PS - I presume if you bought it it's because you know what you want to do with it, but if you don't, I might be able to help out ;)

    By the way, I guess it is evident, but the crown has been changed.

    It did cross my mind to tag you in this post Syrte. I know this is your one of your fields of expertise.

    Yeah I noticed it looked flatter than the ones I saw online. The one that was most similar was the Eterna Majetek.. is that what model this is?

    What makes you think so? I'm not so sure....

    Ha ha ha, that's hilarious --no offense intended, the Eterna Majetek is about 4-5 times bigger than this, and it's square -it's a big man's watch, a military watch.
    This has nothing to do with it except it's from the same manufacture and from the same era.
    It's like comparing a bicycle with an SUV.

    The patina on the crown matches the patina of the case...

    It appears to protrude the case (above) and below. However, I have by any means no knowledge on lady watches.

    It didn't not occur to me but who knows.... it's not a matter of whether it's a ladies watch, it's just a matter of what Eterna crowns looked like in those days and I don't know. The style is correct for the period and for that type of watch design, that's all I can say.

    I have a slightly earlier and larger (29mm) Eterna in one of my boxes, which has a different style crown but I don't know if it's original. Sorry for the shockingly bad photos.
