ETERNA - Chronograph Limited Edition 1938

#wtbasel| New model of the Heritage Collection.

Press release


In 2012 at Baselworld, Eterna is pleased to inform connoisseurs of exceptional wristwatch design and collectors of timepieces of striking character of the return of its Chronograph limited edition 1938. At its initial launch, its personality had greatly contributed to Eterna's fast-growing reputation.



Introduced in 2010, the Heritage collection brings to life a selection of notable Eterna achievements from its distinguished past. The collection features, for instance, limited editions of the 1973 Super KonTiki and the 1942 Pulsometer, now joined by the Chronograph, dating from 1938.

Reflecting the aesthetic codes of the late Art Deco period, the Chronograph limited edition 1938 is representative of the widespread design research undertaken by Eterna on the chronograph theme. This perfectly balanced design first saw the light of day in 1938.

The Chronograph distinguishes itself from the crisply affirmed right angles of its stainless steel case, enhanced by the complex geometry and color scheme of its dial face. They testify both to the self-assured audacity of the designers of the period and to the reason for its inclusion in the Heritage collection.

The Chronograph is equipped with the tried and tested ETA 2894-2 selfwinding caliber providing 42 hours of reserve power, developing 28,800 v.p.h. and fitted with 37 jewels. Along with its chronograph seconds hand at center and a 30-minute totalizer at 9 o'clock, actioned by two pushpieces, it displays the hour, minute, running seconds at 3 o'clock and the date. Its matt black dial face features an intricate pattern of gold-toned minute and seconds circles enhanced with nine similarly colored Roman numerals — swept by gold-toned hands.

Made of brush-finished and polished stainless steel, the Chronograph case is water-resistant to 50 meters (nearly 165 feet). Its pressed-in case back is numbered 0001 to 1938.



Larger than the original design's, its dimensions of 36.00 by 45.80 mm for a thickness of 12.80 mm abide by the aesthetic expectations of our time. Its raised sapphire crystal, scratch-resistant and anti-reflective, and its black genuine leather strap with elegant deployment clasp round out the attractive features of a design that has well earned its place in history.

ETERNA - Tangaroa, a taste of adventure in a design.

With their exotic-sounding name, Tangaroa watches recall a 2006 ocean-borne saga that followed on the heels of the Kon-Tiki’s celebrated trans-Pacific adventures.


Press release



Made of bal-sawood and focussing on ecological and ethnographical pursuits like its fabled forerun-ner, the raft Tangaroa swept across a broad swath of the south Pacific, studying the state of its waters.

What’s more, the very shape of the Tangaroa case owes its subtly unexpected appear-ance, totally devoid of flat surfaces, to the drawings of an architect fascinated by watchmaking.

Tangaroa, an design with a taste for adventure comes together in mechanical wrist-watches by Eterna.



The call of the sea

Since 1947 and the Kon-Tiki’s memorable adventures, an enduring bond has existed be-tween Eterna in Grenchen and the south Pacific. Understandably, then, the Tangaroa raft and expedition bearing the name of a Maori god make a point of selecting Eterna for the crew’s timepieces.

For the moment, the Tangaroa collection comprises two basic models, each with its vari-ants of course. They share a case conceived by an architect on the basis of drawings of circles that feature not a single plane surface. Here then, contemporary history joins orig-inal design and Eterna quality.



Tangaroa Three-Hands: a full-fledged classic

The Self-winding Sellita SW 200-1 fitted in the Tangaroa Three-Hands provides 38 hours of reserve power. With its 28,800 v.p.h., 26 jewels, and diameter of 25.6 mm (11 1⁄2 lines), it displays hours, minutes, seconds and the date.

Three rhodium-plated hands and baton hours markers, a date aperture at 3 o’clock and the seconds track on the dial flange round out the Tangaroa Three-Hands’ stylish dial face.

A generous 42 mm across, its case devoid of any plane surfaces comes in polished and satin-finished stainless steel with screw-secured back featuring a sapphire crystal case back and glareproofed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It remains securely water-resistant down to 50 m (nearly 165 feet or 5 bars). A leather bracelet with pin buckle rounds out this attractive design.



Tangaroa Moonphase Chronograph: the perfect instrument

Hours, minutes, seconds, the date, a 24-hour display, days of the week, months, moon-phases in both hemispheres, chronographic seconds and minutes! Who can claim to do better?

At the heart of this chronograph beats a self-winding Valjoux 7751 calibre providing 48 hours’ power reserve. Developing 28,800 v.p.h., it comprises 25 jewels and is 30 mm (13 lines) in diameter.

A tried and tested design, the movement delivers its time information to a stylish grey dial face featuring round stud-type hour markers overlaid with a luminescent compound. Its minute track along with the date, day and month display are black while the hour and minute hands are blue and overlaid with a luminescent compound. Also blue are the date hand and its red sickle, the chronograph seconds and the running seconds hands as well as the 24-hour pointer. The two moons appear on a night-blue ground.

Here too, a case 42 mm across in polished and satin-finished stainless steel features a screw-secured back with sapphire glass and a glareproofed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal which together ensure its water-resistance to 50 m (nearly 165 feet or 5 bars). This model comes fitted with a polished and satin-finished stainless steel bracelet equipped with a deployment buckle.
