Eterna cal.852
One of recent adds is this spectacular (in my opinion of course) Eterna cal.852
Records indicate manufactured 1943, stormy times in modern history to say the least … there is something quite special with these black glossy dials with gilt hands… and the case size at 36.5mm is just perfect…

Huge congratulations. A marvel you found here. I agree, these black glossy and gilt dials are to die for!
Very nice indeed, I love vintages, and this one looks fantastic ! It seems to be stainless steel while usually they are chromium plated. Is it a DH (German army version) or civilian ? Congrats anyhow !
Thanks!! As far as I can tell…
It is SS and civilian…. I am a sucker for gloss black with gilt and to find this slightly oversized in this seemingly barely worn condition makes me very happy. Will post more pics later!
Eterna and Minerva are my favorite manufacturers after Omega . . .
. . . although I've never owned either. Came close to pulling the trigger on an Eterna chronometer, but ultimately didn't, much to my regret.
That's a gorgeous example you have there, keks. Congratulations!

Thanks A!
I am most fortunate to have been able to find this nearly unworn piece… gilt and gloss black is something I have a profound weakness for when found in good condition… and this cal 952 works flawlessly after all these years!
