Eterna - Monterey Automatic Chronograph - W/ Original Hangtag - 1630.41 - Άνδρες - 1990-1999

Proper 90s tool watch energy. Meet the Eterna Monterey reference 1630.41, a no nonsense chronograph powered by the legendary Valjoux 7750 movement. Reliable, easy to service, and built to take a beating.

It features a 40mm stainless steel case, a white dial with a three-register layout and date, 120 meters of water resistance, and a screw-down crown. It’s in very good condition, with minor wear marks on the bracelet.

The best part? The hangtag still shows the original retail price of $290,000 Portuguese escudos (approximately $1,750 or €1,500 in today’s money). That puts it firmly in serious money territory back in the 90s.

Underrated brand, serious movement, and a cool bit of history attached. Hard to beat if you want a solid Swiss chrono without paying inflated money.

Condition: Very good. Minor usage marks on the bracelet, which I did my best to photograph. The movement winds and resets properly, but I’m unsure of its service history. The sapphire crystal and anti-reflective coating are in perfect condition.
