ETERNA ·MATIE,

DATO

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

Eterna offers you a self-winding watch of two-fold value not only does it tell you the time, second by second, but it records the date, day by day. This new Eterna-Matic gives final and decisive proof of the exceptional merit of automatic winding on a ball-bearing. The 5 microscopic steel ballı in the Eterna ball-bearing are absolutely unbreakable. Better still, instead of wearing out as a "staff" does this beating (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 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 winding systems.

LOOK FOR THIS BTERNA SYMBOL

The Eterna Matic system of winding on a ball. bearing is so highly-perfected that it has enabled Eterna to construct the world's smallest water proof sellewinding watch -- the ladies' Eierna-Matic.
