ETERNA 852 VINTAGE HANDWINDING WATCH 1942, WORKS FLAWLESSLY, À JOUHET

***RELISTED*** Please look carefully at all the pictures so you know what you're buying. This beautiful Eterna from 1942 has aged incredibly well. The dial has a glorious even, golden crackled patina, and the radium lume on the hands and digits is a deep cream. (The lume no longer glows). The watch works flawlessly, keeping excellent time. The crown is easy to wind with no play or wobble, and once fully wound the watch runs for around 30-40 hours. The unpolished case and back have no marks. The movement is clean. The lugs are drilled making strap changes straightforward. The acrylic crystal is new. Overall this is a stunning vintage piece, 78 years old but still running as if it had just left the Eterna workshop in Switzerland. Service history is unknown, but I've worn it hassle-free so I imagine it's been looked at not too long ago (before I acquired it). It comes on a new leather strap that suits it well (20mm strap squeezed into 19mm lugs). However, put this on your favourite strap when you get it to really make it your own. Shipping is tracked and insured. I am open to offers close to the asking price.
