Inspired by a Classic 1960's Design and Powered by an Innovative New Eterna Spherodrive Movement

Eterna has been making superlative timepieces for over 150 years from their home at the base of the Swiss Jura Alps. When other manufacturers abandoned the mechanical watch in favor of less expensive quartz designs, Eterna continued to produce its own movements in-house, introducing a waiting world to some of the most innovative advancements in watchmaking.

Now, Eterna has done it again, with the introduction of the spectacular new Eterna Adventic at Baselworld 2012. This groundbreaking timepiece is the first to incorporate an all-new, proprietary 26-jewel Eterna Calibre 3843 movement. Built around the revolutionary Eterna Spherodrive mechanism, the Calibre 3843 is the first automatic mechanicalmovement in the world to take advantage of the Spherodrive's almost frictionless zirconium oxide ball bearing technology. The successful marriage of the Spherodrive mainspring barrel with an automatic winding mechanism has allowed Eterna to create one of the most accurate and reliable automatic timepieces ever produced.

The Eterna Adventic is not only one of the world's most technologically advanced timepieces, it's also one of the most beautiful. Eterna craftsmen took their inspiration from the classic Eterna Centenaire watches from the 1960's and refined the design to suit contemporary tastes. The result is a quiet elegance that showcases Eterna's ongoing mastery of the watchmaker's art.

This spectacular 44mm timepiece is available in three models: stainless steel with a black dial, stainless steel with a white dial, or a special 4N rose gold edition limited to just 50 pieces. An inspired dial features a small running-seconds subdial between 9 and 10 o'clock, along with a date window and 24-hour GMT display at 6 o'clock. The watch is equipped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and fitted with your choice of a black or brown alligator strap and a practical deployment clasp.

Symmetry is usually overrated ... the exception might be for classical dress watches.

I like the older Madison 8 Days and Vaughan Big Date a whole lot more. 44mm is a bit too large for a dress-style watch.

I think the Vaughan Big Date is closer in spirit to the Centenaire than this particular model.
