Eterna-Matic 1000 Monobloc 14K Gold Filled - 1970s

Eterna is the creator of the Eterna-Matic, an automatic winding system introduced in 1948 and recognizable by its rotor mounted on a five-ball-bearing system. These five ball bearings have since become one of the brand's most characteristic symbols. The Eterna-Matic 1000 we offer here is an elegant automatic watch housed in a 14K gold-filled case. With its restrained 33.8 mm diameter, sunray silver dial, and numerous gold-tone details, it offers a particularly understated and refined presentation. This generation is equipped with the 1489K caliber, a 21-jewel automatic movement with a power reserve of approximately 49 hours. The example presented here stands out with its silver dial paired with applied gold-tone indices and hands. The date window at 3 o'clock is framed by a gold-tone surround that harmoniously reflects the colors of the case. The monobloc-style case features a 14K gold-filled finish, while the original Eterna crown bears the famous five-ball-bearing logo. This watch comes without box or papers.
