It is a gruelling test. That is why, if you prize accuracy above all, you must insist on a watch that is absolutely waterproof only then can you be sure of lasting precision. The Eterna waterproof guarantees enduring accuracy. It is shock-protected, antimagnetic and completely impervious to damp and dust-thus it assures you of time-security under all the conditions of everyday life.
