ETERNA MATIE

DATO

The first self-winding. Calendar watch on a ball-bearing.

Eterna offers you a self-winding watch of two-fold value — noi, orly does ú: tell you the time, socond by second, hut it records the date, day by day. ● This new Eterns Matic gives final and decisive proof of the exceptional merit of automatic winding on a ball-bearing. The 5 microscopic steel balls in the Eterna ball-bearing are absolutely undreskable, Better still, instead of wearing out a “staff" does this bearing (which is no bigger than a pin's head) is self-polishing, thus its winding efficiency increases as it works. ❤ Needless to say, this constant automatic winding of the movement has décisive influence on the accuracy of the watch and, at the same time, enables it to accumulats a power-reserve of 44 hour. This amazing performance
