yet you are going to expose it to all kinds of dangers: rain, soap-lather, dust, perhaps even perfume and powder all these are deadly enemies of your watch and can prove fatal to the mechanism and oils inside it! 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.
