Vintage Eterna-Matic Gold-Tone Dress Watch
A vintage automatic wristwatch featuring a classic round, gold-tone metal case and matching champagne sunburst dial. The watch face is adorned with elegant black Roman numeral hour markers and slim gold-tone hands. A date aperture is positioned at the three o'clock mark, accented with a white background. The dial includes the 'Eterna-Matic' branding and the distinct five-ball bearing logo, which signifies the technological innovation of the ball-bearing rotor movement. The case exhibits integrated lugs that connect to a period-appropriate expandable metal expansion bracelet with a textured, brick-like hatch pattern. This aesthetic suggests a manufacturing date in the mid-to-late 20th century, likely the 1960s or 1970s. The condition shows light overall wear consistent with age, including minor surface scratches on the acrylic crystal and slight tarnishing or plating loss on the bracelet edges. The overall construction displays the high-quality craftsmanship associated with Swiss manufacturing from this era, aimed at the professional dress watch market.
