Hi Guys. Got this little beauty yesterday. It's a 1940's Eterna running an house 520U/600 movement.

 







 One interesting note is that this particular movement was the first created specifically to be made for a wrist watch by Eterna.

As you can see in the pictures, it has a n engraved back that reads Charles I. Olin N.Y. a little goggling came up with this gentle man.









Some more pics of the watch.

















Regards

another vintage watch.

Cheers,

I couldn't help to notice that
movement on the Eterna looks
identical to the Rolex Ref.4139
Precision.

I still prefer look of the
Speidel Twist-o-Flex...subtlelaugh.gif

Hi Simon. You are right. They do look similar, albeit with a slight difference on th winding mechanism.

Thanks for posting your findings.
