Description:
In 1970 ETERNA launched the first electronic wristwatch. The model is powered by a tuning fork movement from ESA, Caliber 91962. The watch buzzes at 300 Hertz. Our specimen shows clearly visible signs of wear on the stainless steel case, it has been worn for many years. The movement is still fully functional. The fine, dark blue lacquered dial has rhodium-plated bar indices and the original bar hands are also rhodium-plated. In addition to the date window at 3 o'clock, the central second hand was set as an accent, in bright red. The watch has a well-preserved plexiglass and comes with a new blue leather strap in a convex design. The neutral pin buckle is made of stainless steel.
