This new arrival (serial says 1958) marks the third Eterna-Matic chronometer in my collection. I suppose it now qualifies as a sub-collection 馃榿

路Thanks for showing that. Imo, the shape, weight, and cut of that case is aesthetically near-perfection. And the dial indices do the watch every favour too. Well done, enjoy!
I think the hidden crown on this example makes the case even better. I have owned some minty watches in my years of collecting, but I almost don't dare to wear this one. The case retains its factory finish in full glory.

I don't know about the other two.
I am also still on the lookout for a watch with this case in 18K gold. Let me know if someone's looking to move one, please.

路Trying to breathe some more life into this topic.
This one sadly doesn't run, so I'll be shipping it off to a watchmaker soon.

路Mafkees, you must live near the fountain of Eterna or something - you score again! It's another beauty. Now, this is another not-Matic according to the dial: what is the distinction in this case? 馃摉

This is from 1945 and non-matic because the movements -matic derives its name from, hadn't been invented yet. Any non -matic can be assumed to be pre 1948 of age, or to have an electronic movement.

路Nice 1966 Birks Centenaire in UK, although photos not great and not sure about "gold-capped".

路Wrong crown and the case isn't as sharp as you'd like. See mine for reference.
Amazing dial tho.

Great stuff. Tony has a knack for selling his best pieces. Or does he? I'm wondering what's up his sleeve still.
