--not only does it Eternia offers you a self-winding watch of two-fold valus tell you the time, second by second, but it records the date, day by day. ❤ This new Eterna Matic gives final and decisivo proof of the exceptional merit of automatic winding on a ball-bearing. The 5 microscopic steel balls in the Etema ball-bearing are absolutely unbreakabla. ● Better still, instead of wearing out as a "stall" does this bearing (which is no bigger than pin's head) is self-polishing, thus its winding efficiency increases as it worka. ● Needless to say, this constant autometio 'winding of the movement has a 'decisive influence on the accuracy of the watch 'and, at the same time, enables it to accumulate a power-reserve of 44 hours. • This amazing performance has so impressed leading New York reporters that they have spontaneously declared that the Eterna-Matic eliminates" all previous wilding systems.
The Eterna-Malo rystem of winding on a ball- bearing is so highly-perfected that it has enabled Etema to construct the worlda amallest waterproof self-winding watch -- the ladies" Etterra-MsÚc.
