Eterna Matic "Vintage" Chronograph Day Date Ref. 684.2169.41. New wrist shot added.

As far as I can tell, this is a rare one. I certainly have not come across another one.
That being said, although I appreciate vintage Eterna for their styling and their history, I certainly don't qualify as an expert and appreciate input from any experts out there who are more familiar with this reference.

Eterna Matic, automatic chronograph Reference: 684. 2169. 41
Diameter: 38 mm excluding crown
Beautiful white dial with a Day/Date calendar at 3 o'clock with quick reset, black hands, and a tachymeter scale on the bezel with blue numerals ( the blue is a nice touch on an already interesting Dial )
Automatic 17-jewel movement
Calibre Lemania 5100, Swiss made
Came on Brown Leather strap with Eterna Buckle.
I think it looks great on this stainless steel bracelet that I switched over from a vintage Tissot
Both the strap and bracelet will be included in the sale, and that's all of it. No box, no papers.
An accurate time-keeper, but I have no knowledge of service history.

Price: $1049, includes Conus shipping. Will ship to other locations if the buyer is willing to pay the additional costs.

Pictures.....




The white area near the bottom of each picture is from the light source - you can see that it moves a bit from picture to picture.

Included this Black & White just because it looks so good!



The Leather Strap and Buckle it came on when I purchased it. strap has lots of life left



Here's a picture of the Dial without the weird white stripe I mentioned above

You don’t see these that often, I would call these neo-vintage as I think they were early 90’s if I recall. Some fabulous stuff from that era that flies under the radar- this being one of them.

"I'm still here you bastards" - can you name the movie?
My avatar provides a clue.

back up!

Reduced to $1,049!

How about a few more pictures.....

pushed the top pusher and let the sweep hand run for 15 seconds




pushed the top pusher to stop it, and the bottom pusher to reset it



good look at the crystal ( black and white )

ps: is there a way of telling if the crystal is glass or plexiglass or something else? somebody asked and I can't find the answer online?

Looks like plexi from the dome. Don’t think they were doing double dome sapphire at this time
Also, fingernail tap will sound like plastic as opposed to glass and a little push you will see plexi deflect and sapphire won’t

Many thanks.

New wrist shot

Yet another test. Touch the crystal to your face. If it's sapphire, then it will be cold.

If you have an acrylic crystal to compare with, it'll be transparent. (Yuck, yuck.) The acrylic is warmer.

Still available

I have done all I can

That’s rather sad and defeatist.
